in reply to Check files downloaded from ftp
Unless the ftp server provides the md5 hashes, I don't think there's any way you can create them on the server (which is really what you're talking about). If the files aren't too large, and you really want to be sure about their integrity, you could pull each file twice. You would still want to compare the file size to the size on the server. That check combined with a the comparison of multiple downloaded files should be pretty reliable.
