Problems about a multi-checksum program called fsum v2.51 (http://www.slavasoft.com/fsum)
I'm using Win XP.
I don't know how to use it to check files between the receiving and sending sources. The problem is, eg:
Files in sending computer
G:\Backup\File
Files in receiving computer
C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\File
1. To make a checksum for a particular folder, I need to type the following:
fsum -dC:\{path name} {file_name}.{file extension}
I need to locate the "File" folder. However the path name contains space. If I simply type it in "cmd", it will treat as others and errors occur. How to do?
And if the folder name includes some non-English characters, does it mean I couldn't use the command in "cmd"?
2.
I wish to compare files in:
- (sending comp) G:\Backup\File
- (receiving comp) C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\File
by using the checksum file (in this case, "sum.txt")
How to do? I couldn't make it.
The problem is as follows:
To workaround the problem stated in (1), I simply relocated the files in another place, eg C:\aaa\File. Then I type the following in "cmd" in the receiving computer:
fsum -crc32 -r -dC:\aaa\File *.* >C:\sum.txt
So a checksum was processed and saved in C:\sum.txt
Then I transferred the sum.txt to the sending computer.
In the sending computer, I tried to check files by verifying checksum. I typed all the following in "cmd" but in vain:
-By changing the order of "sum.txt"
fsum -crc32 -c -jf -w -dG:\Backup\File sum.txt
fsum -crc32 -c -jf -w sum.txt -dG:\Backup\File
-By moving and specifying location of "sum.txt"
fsum -crc32 -c -jf -w -dG:\Backup\File G:\Backup\sum.txt
fsum -crc32 -c -jf -w -dG:\Backup\File G:\Backup\File\sum.txt
-By removing "-dG:\Backup\File"
-By removing "-jf -w", and "-crc32"
Errors occurred saying:
- Cannot open "G:\Backup\File", or
- Cannot open "sum.txt", or
- {loading succeeded. But "Not Found" error occurred during verification}
