Hello,

Please advice me how to compare the filenames, the hierarchy and its content between of two structures.
(In Windows I'm using "windiff")

Thanks in advance!
 
Try 'man diff' for a start point. The utility windiff is a child of diff.
all the best things started in UNIX....
 
Try ls -lR > list1.txt in one directory
and ls -lR > list2.txt in the other

Then make a diff between both lists with diff list1 list2
