Depends on what level of comparison you need. I assume you don't want to upload your local copy to the server either. You could easily take a hash of the file using MD5 or SHA1 and send that hash to the server to compare the files. If the hashes match they are the same. If they differ then you could then choose to upload the file for diff type comparison.
