Is there a tool out there similar to cuteftp's compare ? Instead of comparing one directory, I need to compare files from my server to my local drive *site wide* throughout many directories, is this possible ???

Not that this is in any way related to databases though, checkout rsync if you're on *nix...

*nix means Unix, Linux, BSD etc. All unix-flavoured OS's got the ability to use this tool.
From the manpage of rsync: DESCRIPTION rsync is a program that behaves in much the same way that rcp does, but has many more options and uses the rsync remote-update protocol to greatly speedup file transfers when the destination file already exists. The rsync remote-update protocol allows rsync to transfer just the differences between two sets of files across the network link, using an efficient checksum-search algorithm described in the technical report that accompanies this package. Some of the additional features of rsync are: o support for copying links, devices, owners, groups and permissions o exclude and exclude-from options similar to GNU tar o a CVS exclude mode for ignoring the same files that CVS would ignore o can use any transparent remote shell, including rsh or ssh o does not require root privileges o pipelining of file transfers to minimize latency costs o support for anonymous or authenticated rsync servers (ideal for mirroring) GENERAL There are six different ways of using rsync. They are: o for copying local files. This is invoked when nei ther source nor destination path contains a : sepa rator o for copying from the local machine to a remote machine using a remote shell program as the trans port (such as rsh or ssh). This is invoked when the destination path contains a single : separator. o for copying from a remote machine to the local machine using a remote shell program. This is invoked when the source contains a : separator. o for copying from a remote rsync server to the local machine. This is invoked when the source path con tains a :: separator or a rsync:// URL. o for copying from the local machine to a remote rsync server. This is invoked when the destination path contains a :: separator. o for listing files on a remote machine. This is done the same way as rsync transfers except that you leave off the local destination. Note that in all cases (other than listing) at least one of the source and destination paths must be local. //NoXcuz |
