With the help of the system administrator, you could probably get the
"magic" command "SITE EXEC md5sum file" command to work. I've even seen
a wu-ftpd installation that implements 'SITE CHECKSUM' and 'SITE CHECKMETHOD'
commands, which sound suspiciously like they might do what you want.
There's no way to do what you want that will work everywhere, though.
