You would have to use a checksum algorithm that is the same on both hosts, and I don't know what that would be for MVS. Choosing one that doesn't match may leave you thinking every transfer has failed.
If you can work it out, you may be able to use ftp sub-sommands to run a job on the MVS server on completion of the transfer. If you open up the connection and then type
rhelp you will get the commands available and can explore them, e.g
rhelp site but I can't remember what it was. Sadly it might have been an AS400 that we used to submit jobs on, so I might be going the wrong way.
Other options, depended on what is supported:-
- Use SFTP which confirms accurate delivery (or not)
- Use SSH or remote shell to submit your checksum batch job
- Pull the files back again (to a separate location) and compare. Of course if the files are large this might not be acceptable in time and space.
I hope that some of this is useful,
Robin

ncftpbatch
ncftpbatch(1) General Commands Manual ncftpbatch(1)
NAME
ncftpbatch - Individual batch FTP job processor
SYNOPSIS
ncftpbatch -d
ncftpbatch -l
ncftpbatch -D
OPTIONS
Command line flags:
-d Begin background processing of FTP jobs in the current user's $HOME/.ncftp/spool directory. This returns immediately, because a
daemon process is spawned and ran in the background.
-l Lists the contents of the user's job queue.
-D This is like -d, except that the process does not become a daemon.
DESCRIPTION
This program is responsible for processing background FTP requests. It is normally only run by ncftp and not manually by a human being,
however you can run it to manually process the FTP job queue.
The jobs are spool files written to a user's $HOME/.ncftp/spool directory and have a special format and file-naming convention (which con-
tains when the job is to be run). ncftp runs this program when it needs to, but if the ncftpbatch daemon dies unexpectedly the jobs that
are left in the queue will not be processed until another instance of ncftpbatch is run.
ncftpget and ncftpput can also be used to submit jobs for batch processing, using those utilities' -b command-line flag. If desired, you
can also manually create the spool files although this procedure is not documented here (see the manual page for ncftpspooler for more
information on how to do that).
DIAGNOSTICS
ncftpbatch writes to its own log file, the $HOME/.ncftp/spool/log file. This file should be examined to determine if any ncftpbatch pro-
cesses are actively working on jobs.
