JADE can generate an MD5 checksum file for a file. This file which is given the ending .md5 andcan then be transferred along with the 'original' file. Note however that JADE only generates the checksum file during a file transfer operation, whilst it is reading the 'original' file from the transfer source. This means that this feature has a limited scope and that - in practice JADE is most often used to check files for completeness using integrity hash files that have been generated by other sources.
Note that to create and save an integrity hash, JADE requires write permissions for the target directory. In turn, this This means that this feature cannot be demonstrated by downloading files from our test server, where the demo user only has read permissions. Instead it will be demonstrated through local transfer.

The local_2_local_check_steady_state profile listed below is intended to be used in JADE together with a second file transfer program that allows the file transfer rate to be restricted. This second file transfer program is used to transfer a series of files from our test server at a relatively slow rate to the local jade_demo/a folder used in previous examples. In parallel, JADE is used to check the size of files arriving in the folder jade_demo/a. When a steady state is found, JADE will transfer the file files to the local target folder jade_demo/b once a steady state for each file has been found.
WinSCP is an example of a windows file transfer program that allows transfer rate restriction and was used to test this example.
