Forum:Zip file upload

I want to upload a zip file to http://ru.jfx.wikia.com wiki. The message what I see is '".zip" is an unwanted file type. List of allowed file types: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, ico, ogg, pdf, xcf, svg, mid, jl'

What should I do to allow zip file uploading on the wiki. Should I ask administrators to do that or is there any others way?


 * Right, we have exactly this problem at http://jfx.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page


 * We need to upload few jar files with examples of Java code/classes inside. However, it seems to be impossible. If anyone is aware about ways of solving this - it'd be mostly appreciated.

 * I dont think permitting archive file formats would be benefical to any wiki. Archives can contain anything, from "illegal" MP3 to more malicious things. It could impact on other wikias...
 * If you want to put code on a wiki page, you can. Directly on the page. But, you can put it in a kind of scrolling boxe so it dont clutter the page with big blob of code. TulipVorlax 18:14, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Could it be possible to store zip files in an http server and link them from the wiki?
 * If so, does anybody know a good http server for the this purposes?


 * Hey! Do you know how to sign your messages on talk and forum pages ? Typing four ~ symbols in a row at the end of the message sould do the trick. And there's also a button above the edit window.
 * A simple response to your question would be no, i dont know anything like that. Can you say what would contain thoses archived files ? Maybe there's another way... If it's some kind of home made piece of software (that is not malicious in any manner) i think there's somes "services" to host that. But i dont know how to apply for thoses (for now).

 * Sorry, I am new to this wiki so I do not know all about it. That is why I ask some help.
 * I want to put some JavaFX projects to http://ru.jfx.wikia.com wiki. The projects usually contain some fx source files, some java files and some images. May be someone knows where is a right place to store java, C/C++ and others projects?
 * Thanks,

 * Currently, the only way i've seen that type of code on a wiki is like this :


 * That bit of C# code comes from there : . It was juste for the example. If you want to provide code files of exemple projects, and that include a big bunch of files, i'm not sure it would be possible on a wiki. But, putting the code in the page could be a good solution, that way, they dont have to download it to see it. And syntax highlighting would be easy to do. What do you think ?
