Enhance sftp protocol: get SHA hash of file
...t of a file.
This would make it possible to run a rsync like file transfer
on sftp.
I would suggest a protocol like this
Client sends to Server:
get-supported hash-methods
returns whitespace seperated list like md5 sha1 sha256 ....
get-hash HASH-METHOD FILENAME STARTOFFSET BYTECOUNT
returns: hexlified hash value (all lowercase)
To get the hash value of the whole file: STARTOFFSET=0 and BYTECOUNT=0
Anyone interested?
