file comparision between NT and Unix

[conquersmile]

Hi,

Is there a way to check if a file transferred from NT to UNIX is the correct file. In simple words, I want to test if the file present on my local NT machine is the same on the UNIX server.

A common CRC tool , would definetly help, cksum belongs to unix and winzip to NT, is there any means where in we have one common CRC tool that can be used on both the machines to verify if the file is correct.

you will need a checksum file for both sides, eg. md5 from Sun and for Windows; I hope the md5 output is compatible/compareable

Thanks Franz,

I got the solution but a little different from the one you have provided, i downloaded cksum utility for windows and now i generate CRC using the cksum utility in unix and windows for file comparision.

Basically i did not want to make any changes in unix , the cksum is a default utility, so had to just have such an exe for windows.

if chksum fit's your need it's fine
md5 from sun is just a small "exe", so you would not make big changes in Solaris...
