When I've had to do something like this, I've taken an md5sum on both
machines.
Me too. But a tool to do an intelligent comparison over an ssh-type
connection could be kind of handy.
You can do a secure hash first, and if they match exactly, you're
done. If they don't, you can compare the sizes, check if they're
obviously binary or appear to be text, and give a meaningful human-
understandable description of the difference(s).
