Beyond Compare is a useful and reliable utility that will help you compare and synchronize your files and folders.
Although there is support for automatic functions, the main goal of Beyond Compare is to help you analyze differences in detail, and carefully reconcile them. It commands a wide range of file and text operations.
Beyond Compare distinguishes the information it compares as either files or folders. Beyond Compare is not limited to comparing folders and files on its host computer. It can compare folders and files over a network connection or via FTP.
In the context of Beyond Compare, folder-like files, such as ZIP files and CAB archives, are considered folders as well.
Beyond Compare can also create a folder-like file called a "snapshot." Snapshots are a picture of a folder's contents at a particular time, but snapshots do not show the actual contents of the folder's files.
Beyond Compare's major components are a side-by-side Folder Viewer and a side-by-side File Viewer.
