File Upload Enhancements in 2021.06

The following enhancement to the process of uploading files associated with products was added in the 2021.06 release.

SHA2 Checksum Available for Uploading Files

Previously, when preparing to upload a file to be associated with a product, producers could provide the expected MD5 value on the Upload File page. This value was then compared with the MD5 of the uploaded file to ensure that the file had not changed during the upload.

Producers now have the option to provide the file’s expected SHA2 checksum value when performing an upload. They can provide both the SHA2 and the MD5 values or one or the other value to ensure that the pre-uploaded file and uploaded file are the same. Note that this SHA checksum option is available only when performing an HTTP or FTP upload (from the HTTP Upload or FTP Upload tab, respectively).
