Syntax

keepuptodate [ <local directory> [ <remote directory> ] ]

Remarks

When directories are not specified, current working directories are synchronized. To stop watching for changes press Ctrl+C.

If you do not want the synchronization to be aborted or interrupted by errors, use command option batch continue before starting.

Note: Overwrite confirmations are always off for the command.

Converting to .NET Assembly

There is no equivalent for keepuptodate command in .NET assembly.

You can make use of System.IO.FileSystemWatcher to run non-recursive synchronization using Session.SynchronizeDirectories, when change in local directory occurs.
