Since version 2016 R3 Rebex SFTP supports the 'check-file' extension of SFTP protocol.

To get the remote file checksum, just use the GetChecksum method.

string remoteChecksumMd5 = sftp.GetChecksum(remotePath, ChecksumAlgorithm.MD5);
string remoteChecksumSha256 = sftp.GetChecksum(remotePath, ChecksumAlgorithm.SHA256);
