In a nutshell.

We have a file to upload to a remote server. After upload, I want to do a SHA512 hash compare to make sure the file uploaded without corruption.

I can generate a SHA512 hash locally but how do I then generate the SHA512 on the remote server so I can compare the two? Which part of the API covers this as I've done a search on the documentation and come up with a blank.

There's a property called IntegrityCheckTransfers which forces CRC checks on files after they are uploaded if this feature is available on the server.

Most servers aren't going to support generating a SHA512 hash on a named file, and even if they did, there's no standard way of calculating it. CRC is your best hope.

Thanks support.
So I've added the following lines to the instantiation of a SecureFTPConnection:
x.PreferredMACAlgorithms = EnterpriseDT.Net.Ssh.SSHMACAlgorithm.HMAC_SHA2_512;
x.IntegrityCheckTransfers = true;

How do I see if it fails this SHA512 integrity check?
Is it just a case of the upload failing in general (and reading the exception) or is there something more specific I need to interrogate?

PreferredMACAlgorithms is a setting for the SSH MAC algorithm - it isn't used for file integrity checking. You can't set that.

All you can do is set IntegrityCheckTransfers = true. If CRC is available, it'll use it, otherwise it will compare file lengths which is the next best option.
