A list of changed files

[destone]

Hey folks,

Is there any command line tool which would make a list of the changed files?

I have 2 directories:
1. apple
2. orange

Actually both store the same files. However sometime files under 'apple' are updated. I'm looking for a tool which would compare the 2 directories and would list out the new files so that I could manually copy those new files to 'orange' directory.

I know that I can use "cp -R -u" but I just want to update some of the files rather than all of them.

Thanks,

James

Sound like you might want to look at rsync

Hey reed9,

Thanks for the reply.

Well, I'm intending to manually copy only a fraction of the new files with a PHP/HTML checkbox list.

So the changed files would be listed and we could select with a checkbox which we want to copy to the other folder.

Once again, I just need a Linux command line tool which would print to the screen these new files.

Any suggestions?
