As long as the files match between the source & destination, it's a successful verification. If they differ, it returns an output highlighting the variance. | |
| Sep 12, 2021 at 8:53 | comment | added | dirkt | Do you want to compare the complete paths ("without accounting for the differences between the directories"), only the file names ("with accounting for the differences between the directories"), or something else? If you just want to compare file names, you can also make a list of file names only. | |

Do you mean create a file e.g. source.txt and destination.txt with the different paths for instance x:\source\path1\path2\filename1 and y:\destination\path3\path4\filename1 using find? If yes, will diff only show the file matches/differences irrespective of the paths?
