Verifying Uploaded Files Across IPFS Node (s)

When I upload files with the IPFS add command, are they distributed to multiple nodes? If so, how can a node (e.g., A) verify if another node (e.g., B) has a specific file part (e.g., "asd") of the uploaded file (e.g., abc.txt)? Is there a way to check this or any other method?

Files uploaded with ipfs add are stored locally on your node in ~/.ipfs, not distributed to multiple nodes. To check if another node has a specific file part, like "asd," you can use the DHT. Node B can find your computer using the DHT. You can find more information on the DHT here and here.

The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a protocol, hypermedia and file sharing peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data in a distributed file system.
