Article 2565: File Exist Rules

The only thing referring to the option to take action based on hash values is under "Best Practices", and reads "Prefer FTP servers with MDTM, SIZE and XCRC support".
I think it should be explain what this option does/how it works. Also, the phrasing appears wrong to me on SmartFTP ("Overrides the action if a server hash function is available"), because unless I got it wrong it seems that this hash comparaison will actually only be used when the result of rule analysis is either "Resume" or "Overwrite", then hash comparaison will be used to determine if we can resume or must overwrite, or if the files are the same despite different timestamps, for example.

But, if the rule analyzis based on time/size result in action "Skip", then there will be no hash comparaison. This doesn't sound obvious to me, as the option's note clearly states "Overrides the action", as in overrides the other rules...

FORUM FEEDBACK:

Can this be included on the Forum as a topic? I would certainly like to ask why I cannot click the link on my ID to get information. Very handy when I have posted a while back and want to easily find it.

I would like to request a discussion of how to use WORKSPACE. I am unfamiliar with the concept, and I did a GOOGLE search of this site for the word and found that it appears zero times.

Thank you for considering this request.
