Is there a way to natively compare files and folders for content, perhaps in command prompt? If not, is there a good program for that?

I've heard of WinMerge, is it any good?

Natively, you can use the comp or the fc commands.

fc

As mentioned before, WinMerge is a good program - as are a handful of other options.

I recommend Beyond Compare.

  • It can compare directories against each other, regardless whether the directory is local or FTP.
  • It can sync those directories, including subdirectories, with custom include/exclude file patterns.
  • It can compare files against each other. There are free plugins for Office documents, images, you name it.

I know the question has long been answered, but thought this might still be helpful for later readers.

SourceGear DiffMerge compares files and folders, and is free to use.
