Can this be solved by sending two files, one with the data and one with a checksum of the data?

  That's a reasonable idea! There are a wide variety of ways to solve the problem, using ftp uploads as the primitive, but ultimately that's... kind of the problem. Everyone's solution is different from everyone else's, but those different solutions have different ramifications, so when they fail, they have to handled very differently. That is to say, OOP, classes and inheritance, only gets you so far. (An issue w/ whole file checksums is that there are cases where partial file processing is desirable, but that's not to say there's not use of checksums.)

  That's what we do. Have a summary file and a detail file and they need to match.
