  2. In the search, enter hue_safety_valve.ini to locate the Hue Service Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) for hue_safety_valve.ini field.
  3. Set the configuration in the Hue Service Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) for the hue_safety_valve.ini field as follows: 
    [filebrowser]
restrict_file_extensions = .sh, .exe
#Specify file extensions that are not allowed, separated by commas.
  4. Click Save Changes.
  5. Restart the Hue service.
