Because of the incredible success of my adbsync.exe on the Nook Touch (19 downloads! 
)
I've decided to advertise it to the general Android public.
There are all sorts of GUI file managers that serve as a front end to ADB.
(Some of them appear to use shelling to ADB instead of using port 5037.)
I wanted a command line program for Win32 that could sync my devices before I go out the door.
It had to work with a Nook Touch (2.1) connected on WiFi and a Kyocera Rise (4.0) connected on USB, often at the same time.
As any program with "option-itis", it runs into an alphabet soup of arguments.
The good part is that you mostly just have to get it right once and stick it in a batch or makefile.
There are options for recursive and whether to create missing subdirs or files.
It can copy in either or both direction and even a 3rd destination for resolving discrepancies.
Examples:
Note: For many systems sdcard is just a link (which adbsync.exe will not follow).
Use mnt/sdcard
