I am trying to recursively compare a directory in the local host to a directory in a remote linux machine. However, when i execute the next command:
diff -r 'ssh admin@10.0.0.10:/home/admin' /home/admin
it doesn't work saying:
diff: ssh admin@10.0.0.10:/home/admin: No such file or directory
what is the right way to compare recursively the directories contents?
Thanks in advance
If you needn't diff the detail in file, just get the difference of dir/file name, then try this:
(Note: need set "SSH login without password", for detail, review this URL: http://www.linuxproblem.org/art_9.html)
diff <(ssh admin@10.0.0.10 ls -R /home/admin) <(ls -R /home/admin)
