How to apply cksum between Windows NT and UNIX files during PROD migration?

HI,

I am doing production deployment so i ftp files from Windows NT to unix environment .Assume there is no unix view.
Mainly i need to apply check sum during production migration like applying checksum to nt and unix files to make sure the size and i need to take screenshot also.
if i am coping files from unix to unix i can use cksum.But if i ftp files from nt to unix i find differences in bytes.
Like i need to take checksum screenshot for NT as wellas Unix seperately.
Please help

Hi ahoffmann,
i need to transfer in ascii format only.
for example
i got a file in ClearCase stream NT view say some.sql,some.ini like that, i need to transfer this files from nt to unix envt
so normally use
telnet tounix server
ftp the files under ascii mode and i do the transfer.
u cannot use binary mode,binary can be used only for jar file,etc.,
so after transfer i need to check the size in the nt view as well as unix view.
so i need to apply cksum
if it is unix view i manually copy the file and take the cksum for source and destination directory if it going to be nt and unix ,how will compare and take the scree shot for logging purppose.
