FcHash.exe ships with FastCopy and computes hashes of files or whole directory trees from the command line. It is handy for verifying downloads, dedupe checks and scripting integrity audits without opening the GUI.

Usage

FcHash.exe [options] file1 (or dir1) [,file2...] — multiple inputs are comma-separated.

Options

  • Hash type: --xxh, --xxh3 (default), --md5, --sha1, --sha256, --sha512, --sha3_256, --sha3_512.
  • --recursive walks directories; --non_stop ignores errors; --use_cache enables the OS cache.

Example

fchash --sha256 C:\Downloads lists the SHA-256 hash of every file in that directory — useful for comparing a backup against the original.
