Question
I transfer many files over FTP but the latter does not check for file integrity after transfer. I'm looking for a program that can:
check that 2 folders located on two different computers are identical (I'm OK if I need to run the program on each computer to get some checksum to compare)
work on Windows 7
And if possible (descending priority):
easy to use
with GUI
free
give the list of modified/missing files
And ideally:
can also be used as an FTP client and run the integrity check right after the transfer.
I'd like to avoid rsync as I don't need any synchronization, just transferring once
Explanation / Answer
I suggest you cfv.
It runs on Windows too.
easy to use
It's a command line tool, cfv -C -t sha1 -rr will generate you a <current directory name>.sha1 checksum file (recursive) that you can check with cfv -T -f my.sha1.
with GUI
It's a command line tool without GUI.
free
It's free (GNU General Public License).
give the list of modified/missing files
It shows the modified and missing files by default. For unchecked (added) files use the -u flag.
