This does seem to be going over the top rather. If the MD5 hash can be displayed on
both the ftp site and the web site then I think there would be very little prospect
of that value being compromised. Someone would have to compromise both the ftp site
and the web site and if someone periodically checked both it would be apparent it
that had happened. We are not talking about national security here!
