It's been solved, thanks to you on the Nautilus script. Anyway, pls
let me explain more:
The source files are located in a network storage appliance (those
cheap one from generic brand, not a fancy NAS or something). It
doesn't have any console that we can ssh/telnet into. Only web based
UI. The files don't have any md5sum record, don't ask me why :) It's
been there a long time before I got in. Yes, it's definitely not good.

So, by using the nautilus md5-script, at least I can be sure that the
files are not corrupted during the copy from that appliance to samba
by creating and comparing the md5sum on from source (appliance) and
destination (samba).
