To synchronize files on connected computers using Briefcase
1.. While the computers are connected, open Briefcase on your portable
computer and copy the appropriate files from your main computer.
2.. Work on the files on your portable computer.
3.. When you have finished working on the files, connect the two computers
if they were disconnected, open Briefcase on your portable computer, and
then do one of the following:

b.. To update only some of the files, select the files you want to
update, and then on the Briefcase menu, click Update Selection.

your portable computer, the two computers must be connected, either over a
network or by a direct cable connection.
