ECMerge diffs/merges local/FTP/SCC files/folders 3-way with syntax colouring
ECMerge compares and merges local, FTP/S and SFTP folders for texts, binaries and images, side-by-side or 3-way.
It colours syntax for many languages, supports many office and archive formats, pretty prints XML.
Differences are computed at line, word or character level to help you find small changes quickly. It generates many reports formats, including XML. It outperforms most SCC differenciation tools.
