Objects and Certificates Object Management File List Uploading Individual Files to File Lists

Last updated: Jul 29, 2025

Uploading Individual Files to File Lists

You must have the Malware Defense license for this procedure.

If you have a copy of the file you want to add to a file list, you can upload the file to the Secure Firewall Management Center for analysis; the system calculates the file’s SHA-256 value and adds the file to the list. The system does not enforce a limit on the size of files for SHA-256 calculation.

Procedure

1

Choose Objects > Object Management.

2

Choose File List from the list of object types.

3

Click Edit (edit icon) next to the clean list or custom detection list where you want to add a file.

If View (View button) appears instead, the object belongs to an ancestor domain, or you do not have permission to modify the object.

4

From the Add by drop-down list, choose Calculate SHA.

5

Optionally, enter a description of the file in the Description field. If you do not enter a description, the file name is used for the description on upload.

6

Click Browse, and choose a file to upload.

7

Click Calculate and Add SHA.

8

Click Save.

What to do next

  • If an active policy references your object, deploy configuration changes.


 

After you deploy configuration changes, the system no longer queries the AMP cloud for files on the list.
