diff command ...

[Manuales]

Hi, i have two files:
FROM SERVER 1
one contains :
ls -lrt > files_server1

FROM SERVER 2:
the other one contains:
ls -lrt > files_server2

I have to review those files are equal, if there is a file or directory or permission different i have to report that ...

i am using diff command, i have this line:
57358a57361

also this line:
63224a63228,63231

Hi Manuales:

This is explained in the 'diff(1)' manpages.
