Server-Side Validation
Combine client validation with server-side checks. The server can reject files after upload with custom error messages.
What you should see: the same rules enforced again on the server, where they actually count. Client checks are a convenience; this is the one an attacker cannot skip.

Client-side rules catch obvious violations instantly. The server performs additional checks (virus scan, content analysis) and can return custom error messages.
<!-- Client-side validation catches issues early -->

// Server-side (C#) - return error to reject a file:
[HttpPost("upload")]
public IActionResult Upload(IFormFile file)
{
if (!IsValid(file))
return Json(new { error = "File rejected by server." });
// Process file...
return Json(new { success = true });
}
