==Directory Comparison== To quickly see differences between files on the local machine and the server : * Choose View > Directory Comparison > and either : ** "compare file size" or ** "compare modification time." * Enable the "Hide identical files" option if you don't want to be distracted by files considered the same on both sides. * Choose " View > Directory Comparison > Enable" (or type CTRL-O). You will now see color-coded differences between copies of the same file on the different machines, observing the following convention: * Identical directories and files (same name and same date and time of the last change) in the local computer and in the remote server : They are '''NOT''' highlighted at all. * Directories and files only present in the local computer or in the remote server : They are highlighted in '''YELLOW''' in the list of the location where they reside. * Directories and files with the same name in the local computer and in the remote server but with different time of the last change : ** (IF 'View => Directory comparison => Compare modification time selected) '''GREEN''' highlighting shows where the most recent version is. * Directories and files with the same name in the local computer and in the remote server but with different sizes : ......???........ (Writer's observation: They tend a lot to also have different last change times! I believe they should be displayed in the same form that those with different last change times, but I haven't done this test yet.) ** (IF 'View => Directory comparison => Compare filesize selected) They are highlighted '''RED''' on both sides.
