Hi,

but the command

find . -type f  | xargs md5sum

has problems with blanks in the name of the files:

md5sum: ./Pdf/1226503623_Offerta: No such file or directory
md5sum: Speciale: No such file or directory
md5sum: Vilnius.pdf: No such file or directory
md5sum: ./DynPkg/Fly/Old/Copy: No such file or directory
md5sum: of: No such file or directory
md5sum: volisearchstep3.php: No such file or directory
md5sum: ./DynPkg/Fly/Old/Copy: No such file or directory
md5sum: of: No such file or directory
md5sum: ./DynPkg/Fly/Old/Copy: No such file or directory
md5sum: of: No such file or directory
md5sum: flightconfirmandata.php: No such file or directory
md5sum: ./DynPkg/Fly/Old/Copy: No such file or directory
md5sum: of: No such file or directory
md5sum: volisearchstep3.php: No such file or directory
md5sum: ./Pdf/1226503623_Offerta: No such file or directory
md5sum: Speciale: No such file or directory

Many thanks, best regards.
