>draft-bryan-ftpext-hash
>3.3.  Partial File Hashes with RANG
I have some concerns or better a lack of understanding regarding the partial hashes specification.

How does the client know if partial hashes are supported without trial&error? 
Let's assume the following:
1. Server supports partial transfers (draft-bryan-ftp-range) and announces it in the FEAT as: RANG STREAM. 
2. Server announces the HASH command in the FEAT reply as HASH SHA-256*

Does this now automatically imply that partial hashes (RANG followed by HASH) are supported as well?

we've updated the HASH & RANGe drafts.

any comments?

A new version of I-D, draft-bryan-ftpext-hash-00.txt has been successfully submitted by Anthony Bryan and posted to the IETF repository.

Filename:        draft-bryan-ftpext-hash
Revision:        00
Title:           File Transfer Protocol HASH Command for Cryptographic Hashes Creation date:   2012-04-06 WG ID:           Individual Submission Number of pages: 16

Abstract:
  The File Transfer Protocol does not offer any method to verify the
  integrity of a transferred file, nor can two files be compared
  against each other without actually transferring them first.
  Cryptographic hashes are a possible solution to this problem.  In the
  past, several attempts have been made to add commands to obtain
  checksums and hashes, however none have been formally specified,
  leading to non-interoperability and confusion.  To solve these
  issues, this document specifies a new FTP command to be used by
  clients to request cryptographic hashes of files.
