FTP and Checksum

Hi Guys,

Sometimes, I have a problem with transferred files in ftp session. Thats why I want to produce checksum value in my local server and remote server. But I could not find anyway to produce checksum value of transferred files in remote server.

Do you have any idea?

Thanks,
Emre

FTP can't do this. FTP is very simple and lacking in features.

Do you have shell access to the remote server?

What's your system? What's your shell?

Are you able to access the remote server through rsh?

If you only have ftp access and no Remote Shell access you could transfer the file back to the local machine under another name and checksum (cksum) the before and after versions.
