It is a program available on various Unix flavors.

My requirement is , i have one ABAP program this program reads the data from application server and creates the file in the FTP server, now my requirement is i want to call one checksum program from SAP program to encrypt the file stored in FTP server.

encrypt? No.

MD5 is a hash algorithm, it´s used to create a unique hash for a file (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum). If the file is modified at some point it will create a different hash.

md5sum is not used to "encrypt" something.
