directory comparison and synchronization

[branagan]

hi all

before i converted to mac... i used to use a program called ADCS for windows (advanced directory comparison and synchronization). basically the user inputs 2 directories to be compared and would show which folder was missing each other's content.

is there any program similar to this for mac?

thanx in advance

In the Terminal you can use the diff command that comes with your Mac.

Enter the following:

diff -rq path/folder path/folder

You can drag the two folders into Terminal to have their paths and names added automatically. Hit enter and the info you're looking for will be outputted.

There are gui tools too if that's what you're looking for, like Tidy Up.
