Do on both servers/directories something like for example:

Code:
find . -exec ls -la {} \;| awk '$NF !~ /^\.$|^\.\.$/ {print $5,$NF}' > outfile1

For $5 you have to check which position your filesize will be when you do a ls -l, ie. if it's the 5th column like in my example.
And then compare both with diff like

Code:
diff outfile1 outfile2
