Software for transferring/sync files with server and offering data validation?

[lsquare]

I know this may be a bit paranoid, but I'm just wondering if there are any freewares for transferring or synchronizing files with my home server and at the same time output SHA-1 or MD-5 hashes? The reason why I need something like this is to ensure data integrity. Some of these files are very important to me and I need a way to ensure that no file corruption had occurred during the transferring process.

Teracopy can do that and is very low on resource usage. It detects how the copy is being done, same device, different device, network to speed up how the copy is done and if you go into options there is a checkbox for verify files on copy.

Thanks for the suggestion! How does it verify files? Will it make any hashes (SHA-1 or MD-5) and then compare them?

Any other freeware that might do this? It never hurts to have more choices.

I'm not sure it will do the hash outputs your talking about, but I use this myself and it works well. It's called Beyond Compare.

It can replace windows explorer if you let it for the copy operations. Then anytime you copy a file in explorer it will do the copy. If the verify option is checked in options then it will CRC the file before the copy, then copy the file and CRC the copy for a match . It list after the copy which files pass or fail. It also will continue copies if one file is bad so you can copy large amounts of files and if one fails it just moves to the next file and reports the error in the details report.

Will that be as reliable as matching hashes?
