You need to send off\u00a0several large files. \u00a0These may be the parts of a very a large zip file or multiple individual files. \u00a0The\u00a0receiver tried to open or merge the files together and get a bad data error message. \u00a0How do you know what is bad?<\/p>\n
The answer is simple. \u00a0Use a hash. \u00a0A hash or hash checksum\u00a0is a unique pattern created from the contents of your file. \u00a0This is a one way process. \u00a0It is commonly used to validate if two files are identical. \u00a0When the file is in the pc or smartphone, create a hash and save it. \u00a0A simple Windows tool for creating hash is FCIV. \u00a0Upload your desired file and the hash in 2 separate files.<\/p>\n
The receiver, will\u00a0again\u00a0hash the file you sent. \u00a0Compare the hash signature generated versus your hash. \u00a0If the hashes match, the file has not been modified and\u00a0is identical to the source.<\/p>\n
Note there is no mention on the type of file or its contents. \u00a0It does not matter, if is a zip, msi, text, audio or video file.<\/p>\n
