This is what rsync does -- a one direction sync.  You can use it to push
or pull, just change the order of the source and destination args.  The
only complicating factor is if you need to specify multiple source args
and pull at the same time, but this is discussed in the ADVANCED USAGE
section of the man page:

    rsync -av host:'dir1/file1 dir2/file2' /dest
