synchronize

synchronize local|remote|both [ <local directory> [ <remote directory> ] ]

When the first parameter is local, changes from remote directory are applied to local directory. When the first parameter is remote, changes from the local directory are applied to the remote directory. When the first parameter is both, both local and remote directories can be modified.

When directories are not specified, current working directories are synchronized.

Note: Overwrite confirmations are always off for the command.
