Michael,
There's a download 'folder related api'
you can then use
=FolderCopy(SourceFolder, DestinationFolder)
It syncs the DestinationFolder with the SourceFolder including subfolders, deleting files/folders as needed and copying changed/new files/folders
There may be better ways.
I use this a lot
Of course, databases must be closed prior to copying
