File hash on download
Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2026 2:14 pm
Dear WingFTP team,
do you plan to add file/folder download hash function? To increase security on file downloads and to prevent transport manipulation, our customers are requesting this feature more and more.
It would be great to have a feature to see the file hash in the online UI, maybe a new column or via context menu. It should be automatically created as SHA-256, in addition show the MD-5 hash for compatiblity reasons (optional).
We use WingFTP in our company to share product data and downloads (e.g. driver updates) with our customers. But upcoming new regulations are forcing us to increase download security. If WingFTP will not have this feature in the near future, we may be forced to use another file share solution, which is definitely not our intention :(
Thanks and best regards,
Daniel
