If a file transfer has spaces in the file name and it fails during this verification, you must not select this option, as some FTP servers do not list file names with spaces.

This option is only available on Windows and UNIX FTP servers.

Checksum

Notes: This option is available only for FTP Servers that support either the XMD5 or the SITE CHECKSUM checksum commands.

For UNIX FTP servers, ensure that the md5sum program is installed on the FTP server search path, to enable the SITE CHECKMETHOD MD5 and SITE CHECKSUM commands to work properly.
