Replace files through FTP

Hey all

We're currently facing some issues with corrupted files. They were originally uploaded through the Drupal interface but as it became very impractical to keep changing the files through said interface we decided to overwrite the files through FTP. This resulted in the corrupted files.
How do we make this work? I was thinking about a cron job that checks the file size and changes it, but to be fair I have no idea if it's the saved file size in the database that needs to be changed. We're talking about private files here.
There are quite a few products and new versions regularly, so going through the interface isn't the most ideal option. Is there an alternative workflow?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

    This thread is exactly what I need.
    But of course it does not work in DRUPAL 10. (deprecated functions)
    Would somebody be so kind to help me finding how to code this in D10?

    Thanks in advance

    I have added this this piece of code in a controller in D10.
    May be there is simpler way, but It works!

    private function updatevideoFilesize(){
            
            // ftech video files in file_managed table
            $db = \Drupal::service('database');
            $query = $db->select('file_managed', 't')->fields('t', ['fid','uri', 'filesize']);
            $query->condition('filemime', "video%", 'LIKE');
            $videofiles = $query->execute()->fetchAll();
            
            // variable to be filled with processing reports during the loop
            $output = ''; 
            
            // Loop through the files 
            foreach ($videofiles as $file) {
                
                //$output.= 'fid = '.$file->fid.' | uri = '.$file->uri.' | sizeBEFORE = '.$file->filesize.'<br/>'; //debug
             
                //Load the file entity by URI
                $loadedfile = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()
                                ->getStorage('file')
                                ->loadByProperties(['uri' => $file->uri]);
                 
                // Check if the file entity was loaded successfully.
                //$output.= $loadedfile ? 'successfull load YES <br/>': 'successfull load NO<br/>';//debug
                
                // Get real file size
                $stream_wrapper_manager = \Drupal::service('stream_wrapper_manager')->getViaUri($file->uri);
                $file_path = $stream_wrapper_manager->realpath();
                $realFileSize = filesize($file_path);
                
                if($realFileSize != $file->filesize){
                
                    //$output.=  $file_path.' | realSIZE = '. $realFileSize.'<hr/>'; //debug
        
                    // Store real size of file
                    $query = $db->update('file_managed')->fields(['filesize'=>$realFileSize] );
                    $query->condition ('fid',$file->fid,'=');
                    $query->execute();
                    
                    $output .= 'fid = '.$file->fid.' | uri = '.$file->uri.'<br/>';
                    $output .= 'former size = '.$file->filesize.' | new size = '.$realFileSize.'<hr/>';
                    
                }//end if
                
            } //end foreach 
            
             
            $output = ($output =='')? 'No filesize to be updated' : 'Following filesizes have been uptdated.<hr/>'.$output;
            
            return $output;
            
       }//fin function
