How to only download a specific folder instead of the full website?

Question

I am making a website for my company. I am using my personal server as the testing server. The website is located at playground.mywebsite.com/Test

How do I complete the site setup so that I only sync that directory with my local files. Meaning, I do not want it to download the full site including the public_html and every other thing in it. I just want the "Test" folder so it is not taking a long time to download and wasting space on my computer.

Thanks.

Add the test folder to your Remote Root Folder in your site settings.

Go to Site > Manage Sites > click the site > Edit
Under Servers, click the remote server > Edit
For Root Directory, add the test folder, you should then see something like...

/public_html/Test

Click Save

From there on out, when you connect to the server, it should see the Test folder as your site's root. You can verify that by clicking Connect in the Files window, then clicking Expand. Only the contents of the Test folder should show on the Remote side of the Expanded panel.
