Hi folks

i am looking to check the contents of two (hopefully) identical folders on two different servers to check that they are identically replicated. i have tried the following

@echo off
set "data=P:\
set "arch=E:\filepath
set "log=E:\logfile.txt"

rem echo N| comp "%data%" "%arch%" 2>nul 1>nul &&echo Equal> "%log%" ||(
fc "%data%" "%arch%" >nul &&echo Equal> "%log%" ||(
echo Not equal> "%log%"
for %%a in ("%data%" "%arch%") do if "%%~za"=="0" echo Zero sized %%a>> "%log%"
)

but this just returns as them not being equal. P:\ is the mapped drive is there an easy way to use the full share path as i just get an empty log file when using \\server\filepath and \\server2\filepath do i need to put in a switch or anything?

thanks in advance

you can download diffutils for windows, then do this

the problem is they reside on different servers.
one folder is mapped to the other server so should be able to use P:\ and then E:\folder path

but it just returns an empty log.

is there string for all files contained within? i could try that after P:\?
