rsync as diff – compare files in two directory on remote server using unix – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/03/01

Too bad the accepted answer forgets about deleted files.

Use one of these to compare (but not sync) two directory trees.

For size-only comparision:

rsync -n -avr --size-only --delete /abc/home/sample1/ server2:/abc/home/sample2/

If you want to compare both contents and size:

rsync -n -avrc --delete /abc/home/sample1/ server2:/abc/home/sample2/
