A flac file is a computer file.
If you worry about data integrity while copying and/or moving the
file, you can use the usual tools. Most people
simply trust that the operating system is capabile
of copying a file properly. It is a fundamental
function that any operating system has to be able to do.

The simplest is to calculate a checksum of the file's contents.
A simple CRC-16 is good enough, or you can use a cryptographic
hash.

What tool you want to use depends on your Operating system,
whether you want a GUI or a shell utility, etc.
