diff over FTP
Posted: Sat Apr 02, 2016 10:04 am
Hi,
Does anyone know how I can diff files on my local machine and a remote server accessible only via FTP? The problem I have is that my client doesn't have any kind of CVS and I have to do all my development on my local machine before uploading it to their test server, then if everything works OK I have to do the same thing with their live server. A bonus feature(?) of this arrangement is that one of their other developers only works on the live site and never updates the test server with his changes, so I can't automatically overwrite the files on both servers in case I overwrite some of his code. This isn't strictly a Linux question because I'm using OS X, but if there's any Un*x/Linux software available I should be able to compile it.
Thanks in advance,
