If you just want the names of files with differences you can use rsync
with the -v and -n options to show which files it would transfer without
actually doing it (but the differences might be in ownership or
permissions). If you want to see the test of the differences you'll
have to use nfs or samba to network-mount the filesystem for the comparison.
