On the server I have a folder nginx files /. I want to do in order to retrieve from this folder every file regardless of format. It is about protection before performing a file on the server. Currently I have set:

    location ^~ /files/ {
        types                   { }
        default_type  application/octet-stream;
        add_header    Content-Disposition attachment;
    }

But apparently it is not safe.

Please an example.
