Verify integrity of ftp file transfers
Verify integrity of ftp file transfers
With FTP you can use a couple of ‘Non-standard‘ Commands to verify the integrity of a file transfer (download & upload):
XCRC
XMD5
XSHA1, XSHA256, XSHA512
In version v2022.6.12.0 of Limagito File Mover we added support for these Commands to:
Built-In FTP Server
FTP as Source
FTP as Destination
Not all FTP servers support this ‘Non-Standard’ command. You can check this using the ‘Support’ tab in your FTP Destination setup (v2022.6.12.0). Click ‘Connect’ and check if File Verification is supported by the FTP server. In this screenshot we are connected to the Limagito FTP Server.
If your FTP server supports File Verification then you can enable this in the FTP Source or Destination setup (Verify Tab > Verify File after Copy/Move). If your FTP Server does not support File Verification and you need this then maybe you can use: link.

Verify FTP download using existing hash file at source
Q: I am downloading a file, plus the sha256.hash that was created at the file source via FTP. How can I verify FTP download with an already existing hash file? If the feature exists, I don’t seem to be able to find it. An example file name for my application is 12345.dmp – and the hash file is 12345.dmp.hash
A: In our latest version v2022.6.6.0 we added an option to achieve your request.
Please open your FTP as Source Setup:
Select the Verify Tab:
Enable ‘Use Checksum file at source to verify download’ option
Select the ‘Algorithm’ you used to create the hash file on the FTP server
Select the ‘Encoding’ you used to create the hash file on the FTP server
Set Checksum Filename. Default is %SFN (= Source File Name) + .hash
We will look for that file at the FTP source to verify the download
Select if you want to keep the the checksum file download (move to Destination)
File Filter Setup. In our example we are downloading and checking .pdf files so we added the *.pdf extension to the Filename Include Filter option. Please do not include the hash file extension, this is all handled by the ‘Use Checksum file at source to verify download’ option itself.

Linux FTP server issue when files have a space preceding the filename
Linux FTP server issue when files have a space preceding the filename
Q: We have an issue where the source file (Linux) might have a space preceding the name. Example “ file-with-a-space.jpg”. Limagito on Windows sees it as “file-with-a-space.jpg” and attempts to retrieve. The Linux server returns a 500 error, file not found error. We receive the error every minute until someone manually fixes. I want limagito to output a text file with the source path. That will get picked up by a Linux server that will automate a fix, but it needs to know where to look (hence the source path).
A: Ok we installed a Linux system and did some tests. A new build of our file mover is ready (v2022.4.23.0) where we added a new option called ‘Use Prefer Nlst’.
Important, only available with our second API vendor: ‘Vendor 2 – CK’.
Please enable the ‘Use Prefer Nlst’ option in the ‘Common’ tab of the Source FTP setup. Also enabling ‘Delete Invalid Characters’ is a good idea with Linux (Unix, Mac) FTP servers because they may use invalid characters for Windows filenames.
