Figure out what files have changed between local and remote server in NetBeans?

I am using NetBeans 7.2.1 on a Windows machine for PHP (Drupal) development. I am connecting to a remote dev server via SFTP. So I have the site both locally running AND running on the remote server. I have my setup set to where when I save a file locally it does NOT automatically get uploaded to the remote dev server. I do this so if anyone is viewing the dev server, they are not seeing wonky things as I am developing. Once I get it to a point where I want to upload, I know I can manually upload each file by right clicking and choosing upload, but sometimes I might forget all of the various files I might have worked on. We are not using GIT or SVN unfortunately or this would be easy. Is there a way to do a diff against the directory structure on my local machine vs. what's on the remote server and selectively upload the files that have changed? I know there is "synchronize", but when I did that it didn't give me a chance to see what had changed, it just started synchronizing everything. Is this even possible in NetBeans?

THANKS

You probably missed the diff button over there that is activated after you click on a file.
