If you use Emacs, you could open the updated generic action_box in one 
ange-ftp buffer, open your customized one in another buffer, then let 
ediff tell you what to do.

Alternatively, use a WebDAV tool like WebDrive on Windows or sitecopy to 
get local file representations of both, then use regular diff.

For what it's worth, I've been using the Windows version of sitecopy 
lately.  I do all my content authoring on the disk.  Once every so often 
I tell sitecopy to synch up.  I can author at home or at work and stay 
(reasonably) in synch.

I still have some investigating to do, but so far it's been pleasurable.
