Hashsum Calculation

Purpose

Generate and report a hashsum for each transfer file.

Details

Hashsums can be used to confirm the identity and authenticity of files. By enabling this feature, the server will calculate a hashsum for each file of the transfer.

The hashsums are reported to the receiver in the notification email.

Note: Senders with active Upload Confirmation, do not see the hashsum in their notification email, since the hashsum is not yet generated at notification time:
