    Greetings guys!

    I am experiencing a strange issue. I calculate MD5 hash of a file with CSUM command in AIX, and I calculate MD5 hash of the same file with FCIV.EXE program in Windows and I get different results. 

     

    Could you please explain why this may happen?

    Try a windows version of...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum or install something like CYGWIN and use it's checksum tool.  Then compare results to AIX and FCIV.EXE on windows.
