darongmean / File-and-Directory-Structure-Comparison

A command-line written in Clojure that compares two files or two nested directory structures on local files or remotely with an md5sum command over ssh (requires the use of an ssh identity key). MD5 hashing (locally or remotely) is used to determine file equality. The code can also be re-used to integrate into an application that would like to check file integrity after a copy or any similar scenario... The use of the remote md5sum cmd over ssh means that only the hash is sent over the network. It is therefore very efficient at comparing very large files over a slow WAN because the hashing will be computed locally to where the files are stored.
