Hello Folks,

I am uploading some files to the ftp server using "sftp". I want to check the authenticity of the transferred files but the problem is that "md5" is not a supported command (interactive) command that can be used along with "sftp"

Is there any other way I can check the md5 of the transferred files.

P.S: I can't "ssh" to the ftp server.

sftp doesn't allow remote execution of commands, so if you cannot ssh to the machine, you don't have a way to remotely run md5.

You could do ls -l after the transfer (in sftp) and make sure the size is right down to the byte, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not corrupted. You could also upload the md5 fingerprint along with the file so the other side can check that they match. You could set the md5 sum as the file name so you can inspect that it made it unaltered, something like this: README.txt-cd5e1e13f12927d85bcf7afd3c24e2b3 .

thanks chort for your suggestion.
