I need to develop a process for transferring Files from Win98 boxes to FreeBSD machines. (e.g FTP) Business requirements dictate that the users must be able to verify that the transferred file is exactly the same as the source. My first thought was do run a checksum problem on both files and verify the results match. Questions: 1) Anybody have a better (not too expensive) solution. 2) Anybody know of a cheep checksum program for Win98 that will produced results compatible with a checksum program on FreeBSD?
