Question

I’ve got a file hierarchy tree on a linux host that I can access via SSH (WinSCP)
Its about 160 GB in size.
I have slightly different file hierarchy tree on my Windows laptop (has Cygwin).
I’d like to see the differences in filenames and sizes, preferrably checksums.
Is there a tree utility variant that also lists a checksum and size.
This way, I can diff the outputs.
Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Answer 1

You can use rsync --checksum --delete --dry-run to let rsync compare the checksums and show which files it would transfer.
