SVN checksums comparison

I'm using VisualSVN Server and Tortoise SVN client. I need to compare file checksum in working copy between SVN server's file checksum. I get checksum of working copy file from svn info:

C:\PATH>svn info FILE.xml
...
Checksum: bd9c64f72240de72e06ffe1f562c6a6467d08071

But how can i get the file checksum on SVN Server itself? If i use svn info to https (where my SVN server is), i don't get the checksum:

C:\PATH>svn info https://svnsrv:8443/svn/Projects/PATH/FILE.xml
Path: FILE.xml
Name: FILE.xml
URL: https://svnsrv:8443/svn/Projects/PATH/FILE.xml
Relative URL: ^/PATH/FILE.xml
Repository Root: https://svnsrv:8443/svn/Projects
Repository UUID: e6ccef74-f44d-e74c-9476-7af031b83d22
Revision: 5236
Node Kind: file
Size in Repository: 1081199

Thanks in advance!

I need to compare file checksum in working copy between SVN server's file checksum.

Checksum provided by svn info FILE.xml is the actual checksum of the file present in the Subversion repository at the revision to which your working copy or the particular file is updated to. Checksum in the command's output will remain the same if you change the file in your working copy and run the command again. Therefore, you could compare the file's checksum with the checksum from the svn info FILE.xml output.

Checksum displayed is the checksum of the pristine version of the file (aka BASE) which is stored in the working copy's administrative area (single hidden .svn directory at the root of your working copy).

Note that you could rely on the working copy's status to determine if the local version of the file has modifications. See TortoiseSVN Manual | Getting Status Information, too.
