Could we get more information on using MD5 to ensure data integrity? Doesn't the client have to send the hash value at some point during the transfer, when would this be done?
The way I would see it: 1. Calculate MD5 hash for the file 2. Upload the file When does the client send the MD5 hash to the server?

This is the strategy I've always used when I have automated FTP transfers (eg. application to application integration). I highly recommend it. If the server you're using doesn't support the MD5 commands, you can at least check the file length from the client. /niklas
