Apache Commons Net FTP is uploading corrupted files

Question

I\'m trying to use Apache Commons Net for FTP file transfers.

Problem is files are intermittently arriving at the server corrupt. By \'corrupt\' I mean that WinRAR t

I had this problem despite specifying binary file type so I wrote code to validate the uploaded file via MD5 hashing:

public void upload(String sourceFilePath) throws Exception
{
    while (true)
    {
        // Upload
        File sourceFile = new File(sourceFilePath);
        String sourceFileHash = MD5Checksum.getMD5Checksum(sourceFilePath);
        String remoteFile = sourceFile.getName();

        try (InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(sourceFile))
        {
            boolean successful = ftpClient.storeFile(remoteFile, inputStream);

            if (!successful)
            {
                throw new IllegalStateException("Upload of " + sourceFilePath + " failed!");
            }
        }

        // Download
        File temporaryFile = File.createTempFile("prefix", "suffix");
        try (OutputStream outputStream = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(temporaryFile)))
        {
            boolean successful = ftpClient.retrieveFile(remoteFile, outputStream);

            if (!successful)
            {
                throw new IllegalStateException("Download of " + sourceFilePath + " failed!");
            }
        }

        String downloadFileHash = MD5Checksum.getMD5Checksum(temporaryFile.getAbsolutePath());
        Files.delete(temporaryFile.toPath());

        // Make sure the file hashes match
        if (sourceFileHash.equals(downloadFileHash))
        {
            break;
        }
    }
}

MD5Checksum.java:

import java.io.*;
import java.security.MessageDigest;

public class MD5Checksum
{
    private static byte[] createChecksum(String filename) throws Exception
    {
        try (InputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(filename))
        {
            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            MessageDigest complete = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
            int numRead;

            do
            {
                numRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer);
                if (numRead > 0)
                {
                    complete.update(buffer, 0, numRead);
                }
            } while (numRead != -1);

            return complete.digest();
        }
    }

    public static String getMD5Checksum(String filename) throws Exception
    {
        byte[] checksum = createChecksum(filename);
        StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();

        for (byte singleByte : checksum)
        {
            result.append(Integer.toString((singleByte & 0xff) + 0x100, 16).substring(1));
        }

        return result.toString();
    }
}

The MD5 code is taken from here.
