       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
