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

New Here ,
Mar 27, 2017 Mar 27, 2017

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.
