Compare checksum of two files

Hello,
is it possible to compare the checksum of 2 files in n8n, and if so, how to do it

Thanks for your help

Quickest thing I can think of would be to download the files then use the Execute Command node and run the sha256sum command (or md5sum) passing in the filepath then use the stdout option from both runs to do the check.
