Subject: [TUHS] Be there a "remote diff" utility?
Date: Thu, 16 May 2024 16:34:54 +1000 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.21.9999.2405161623130.15285@aneurin.horsfall.org> (raw)
Every so often I want to compare files on remote machines, but all I can
do is to fetch them first (usually into /tmp); I'd like to do something
like:
rdiff host1:file1 host2:file2
Breathes there such a beast? I see that Penguin/OS has already taken
"rdiff" which doesn't seem to do what I want.
Think of it as an extension to the Unix philosophy of "Everything looks
like a file"...
