You may need to create a shell command line to do this. I've not used md5sum nor am I
at a Linux station at this moment, but I envision something like this:
ls -1 /directory.to.scan | md5sum >> outfile

Subject: MD5'ing a directory tree in Linux?
Is it possible to MD5 all the items in a directory tree using Linux? I
am on a Redhat 7.3 workstation. I have read the man and info file for
MD5SUM and also tried to run it against a directory without success. I
get the error "Is a directory" which is very self explanatory.
So .. Is there another MD5 utility with more flexibility? I basically
need to MD5 every file individually in a large directory tree with the
output redirected to a text file showing the path, filename, and hash of
every file in that directory tree.
Thanks for the assistance,
Mark
