thanks for your reply. I already thought that SSH had such a transaction mechanism, but i found no documentation for that. Do you have any links where i can read how SSH ensures package integrity?

I don't. Check SSH RFC :-)

Hello Martin,

Make sure file upload was successful by checksum comparison

Hello,

first thanks for this great piece of software.

I am using an automated Winscp script to upload files to a server with SFTP.
Can i force WinSCP to compare the local with the remote checksum(md5) (server supports it) to ensure the upload was correct? Or is this already part of the SFTP protocol? I hope you can help, as the documentation says that Winscp can retrieve checksums manually, but i found no info on doing this automatically.
