In the purple band at the top of the page is a search box. Type into that search box compare two directories and press the [search] button. This problem has already been answered more than a few times on DaniWeb

You need to set the dir path if the directories are in different location. This is a simple way of doing the copy work.

#!/bin/sh
diff d1 d2 | awk -F: '{print $2}'|while read a 
do
cp -r d1/$a d2
done
