NAME

       ssh-diff - diff a file over SSH

DESCRIPTION

              Usage: ssh-diff [OPTIONS] FILE [user@]hostname[:FILE]

              There  is  an  extra  roundtrip  to the remote system to check for the existence of the file to be
              diffed.  So if you are not using SSH Keys you may get prompted twice for a password.

              Use "CHECK_REMOTE_FILE_EXISTS=NO ssh-diff" to disable that behavior

              Diff Options:

              All options your local diff command supports ( except '-r' ).  See 'man diff'  and  'diff  --help'
              for more information.

              SSH Options:

       -4     Use IPv4 only

       -6     Use IPv6 only

       -p port
              Port  to  connect  to  on  the  remote  host.   This  can  be specified on a per-host basis in the
              configuration file.

              Examples:

              Default:

              ssh-diff /etc/hosts 192.168.1.10

              ssh-diff /etc/hosts root@192.168.1.10

              ssh-diff /etc/hosts root@192.168.1.10:/etc/hosts.old

              Side-by-Side:

              ssh-diff -y /etc/hosts 192.168.1.10

              ssh-diff -y /etc/hosts root@192.168.1.10

              ssh-diff -y /etc/hosts root@192.168.1.10:/etc/hosts.old

              Unified:

              ssh-diff -u /etc/hosts 192.168.1.10

              ssh-diff -u /etc/hosts root@192.168.1.10

              ssh-diff -u /etc/hosts root@192.168.1.10:/etc/hosts.old
