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
Thanks Robin.
I am using
and private mode of connection is also enabled which ensures integrity.
Now I want to ensure if the file has been successfully delivered in MVS or not
for that I am checking the ftp_log.log file for any errors.
Please let me know a better idea to verify the same.

ftp(4) File Formats ftp(4)NAME
ftp - FTP client configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/default/ftp
DESCRIPTION
Use the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment lines and
are ignored.
Behavior Directives
The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:
FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no
The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send LIST instead. In order to
make the Solaris ftp client send LIST when the ls command is issued, set FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes
by default.
If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that is
specified in /etc/default/ftp.
