You can also have a look at the diff command. Files only in one directory tree will be marked in Only in ..... messages, so you could select those from all your output perhaps:-
An alternate might be to find all files in the directories and get the checksums into a pair of files, which you can then use diff against, something like:-
This will list out different checksums and files in only one of the directories. It depends what you want.
Do either of these help?

I was wondering how to make difference between file and folder while using ls -l?

rsnapshot-diff
rsnapshot-diff(1)rsnapshot-diff(1)NAME
rsnapshot-diff - a utility for comparing the disk usage of two snapshots taken by rsnapshot
SYNOPSIS
rsnapshot-diff [-h|vVi] dir1 dir2
DESCRIPTION
rsnapshot-diff is a companion utility for rsnapshot, which traverses two parallel directory structures and calculates the difference
between them. By default it is silent apart from displaying summary information at the end, but it can be made more verbose.
In the summary, "added" files may very well include files which at first glance also appear at the same place in the older directory
structure. However, because the files differ in some respect, they are different files. They have a different inode number. Consequently
if you use -v most of its output may appear to be pairs of files with the same name being removed and added.
OPTIONS -h (help)
Displays help information
-v (verbose)
Be verbose. This will spit out a list of all changes as they are encountered, as well as the summary at the end.
-V (more verbose)
Be more verbose - as well as listed changes, unchanged files will be listed too.
-i (ignore)
If verbosity is turned on, -i suppresses information about symlinks, directories, and special files.
dir1 and dir2
These are the only compulsory parameters, and should be the names of two directories to compare. Their order doesn't matter,
rsnapshot-diff will always compare the younger to the older, so files that appear only in the older will be reported as having been
removed, and files that appear only in the younger will be reported as having been added.
