Initiate sync from command line

It would be amazing if we could initiate a temporary/on-demandĀ folder Sync from the command-line / terminal.

For example, say I'm in a folder /home/users/me, I would like to be able to do something like:

btsync -folder /home/users/me/pictures

and it would return to me the code / key . This code / key would be valid for a few hours / days.

Then on another server I could do:

btsync -folder /home/users/me/pictures -key=KEY_FROM_ABOVE

Once the sync was complete, btsync would shut down and exit.

This would allow an easy way of transferring servers from machines / servers to one another without having to set up permanent sync directories (i.e. transferring your home directory to a new computer).
