Md5sum script
Hello,

I need to download multiple files from an FTP server but occasionally they arrive in error so I need to perform an integrity check. I've been attempting to write a bash script that does the following:
  1. Downloads all files including those in sub directories
  2. Perform md5sum using stored hash values
  3. Download any files that fail the integrity check again
  4. Repeat steps 2-3 until all files have passed the integrity check

I'm stuck on step 3. I don't know how to download the individual file so that it goes into its relevant sub-directory by itself. The relevant parts of my files and script are as follow:

Code:
checksums.txt
abcdef123456 /a/one.txt
ghijklm67890 /a/b/two.txt

Code:
file=`awk "NR==$i{print}" $checksumFile | awk -F " " '{print $2}'`

curl ftp://www.test.com/$file --user user:password

This ofcourse stores the file in the working directory. For instance, I'd like two.txt to save to /working directory/a/b/. Any ideas? Additionally, is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks

installsieve

INSTALLSIEVE(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   INSTALLSIEVE(1)

 *

NAME

       installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts

SYNOPSIS

       installsieve

DESCRIPTION

       installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server.

OPTIONS

       -v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output.

       -l  List  all  of  the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active
       script.

       -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services.

       -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten.  Upon  sucessfully
       putting	the  script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since
       sieve names may not contain a '.'.

       -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option..

       -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>.

       -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen.

       -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already  exists  it	is
       overwritten.

       -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user.
