Hello Shree,

To verify whether data copying is happened properly, you can use "md5sum" check. get the original file md5sum and again get it after copying it to local machine. Compare them. If same then file has been copied properly else issue while copying file.

And to check if result file has been created use,

if [ -e "filename" ]
then
echo "File exist"
else
echo "File does not exist"
fi

Please let me know if u need more help.

MD5SUM(1)							   User Commands							 MD5SUM(1)

NAME
md5sum - compute and check MD5 message digest SYNOPSIS
md5sum [OPTION] [FILE]... DESCRIPTION
Print or check MD5 (128-bit) checksums. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input. -b, --binary read in binary mode -c, --check read MD5 sums from the FILEs and check them -t, --text read in text mode (default) The following two options are useful only when verifying checksums: --status don't output anything, status code shows success -w, --warn warn about improperly formatted checksum lines --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit The sums are computed as described in RFC 1321. When checking, the input should be a former output of this program. The default mode is to print a line with checksum, a character indicating type (`*' for binary, ` ' for text), and name for each FILE. AUTHOR
