" ... wouldn't be a way to compare hashes the way you describe ..." Hashing files shouldn't be hard ... ssh user@rsync.net sha256 some/dir/some/file ssh user@rsync.net sha512t256 some/dir/some/file [1] ... or if you like it quick and dirty: ssh user@rsync.net cksum some/dir/some/file [2] [1] SHA-512t256 is a version of SHA-512 truncated to only 256 bits. On 64-bit hardware, this algorithm is approximately 50% faster than SHA-256 but with the same level of security.
