Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

i want to compare files from two servers folders ,sub-folders,sub-sub-folders and so on ... i searched through out the forum but i am not getting any satisfactory answer .
Ok, so again, post what you've written, and what you're trying to accomplish, and we can try to help. But, we are NOT going to write your scripts for you. There are many bash scripting guides you can find with a VERY easy Google search, like this:
The diff command can do some parts of what you want, but again, you're not telling us what your goal is. If this is homework, post where you're stuck. If it's for a production environment, there are other tools you can use to do this.

Right...we understand what you're trying to do, and have since your first post. What we are asking for is
The code that YOU have written to do this
You to tell us where you're stuck or what problem(s) you're having
What your GOAL is..for example, is this to verify a backup, sync two servers over a WAN...what???
What effort have you put into solving this problem? Is this homework?? Just asking the same question over and over, without answering anyone elses questions won't get you much help....

This is not a homework. am trying in production environment to compare two servers and manually fill the gap.

Ok...and how about the other parts of what we've been asking you???

If you're trying to keep two production servers in sync, use rsync, which was suggested to you in the very first reply. Have you looked up the command, and how it's used? This is what it was written for, and (since you say this is not homework), you should be able to use any utility you'd like.
