What for?

- using diff to compare individual files;
- using external diff program to compare individual files;

See example custom command 'File Compare' to learn how to use external diff program with WinSCP.

Diff between files and directories

These are few suggestions:

- using diff on individual files when comparing directories vs. just size and timestamp of individual files.

- using diff to compare individual files;

- using external diff program to compare individual files;

I use WinSCP to keep a couple of remote software installations in sync and finding differences with minimum "false positives" would be extremelly helpfull.
