View > 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." (You also hide identical files by checking that option.)
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 folders and files (same name and same date and time of the last change) in the local computer and in the remote server : They are highlighted in green in the remote server list.
Folders and files only present in the local computer or in the remote server : They are highlighted in yellow in the list of the local where they are.
Folders and files with the same name in the local computer and in the remote server but with different time of the last change :
- IF it was selected 'View => Directory comparison => Compare modification time : They are highlighted in green in the local server list. (Writer's observation: I didn't test the possibility of the file with the last change time to be in the remote server, but I believe that, also in this case, the green highlight shall be in the local computer list, to avoid ambiguity with the first case presented here, of 'identical folders and files'.)
- IF it was selected 'View => Directory comparison => Compare filesize : There isn't any highlight, the folders or files in both the left and right panels remain with a white background.
Folders 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 do this test yet.)

The selected contents are saved in a .XML file that you can import to another computer, using the File => Import... option.
