There is no need to write your own application which is a quite complex task.

You can use the WinSCP :: Official Site :: Free SFTP and FTP client for Windows[^] instead.

It provides Scripting and Task Automation :: WinSCP[^] which can be called periodically from a scheduler with a script to synchronise specified directories (see keepuptodate :: WinSCP[^]).

Have a look at the WinSCP documentation even if you still want to write your own application. It contains useful information on how to implement features with .Net like those on the keepuptodate option:

Converting to .NET Assembly

There is no equivalent for keepuptodate command in .NET assembly.

You can make use of System.IO.FileSystemWatcher to run non-recursive synchronization using Session.SynchronizeDirectories, when change in local directory occurs.

You have to read the documentation and the examples. Use the interactive command line mode first to learn the syntax and find out which commands has to be used for your task. Finally write the commands to a script file and execute that with
winscp.exe /console /script="myscript.txt" /log="myscript.log"

Untested example myscript.txt:
open sftp://user:password@example.com/ -hostkey="ssh-rsa 2048 ..."
lcd <local directory>
cd <remote directory>
# Reflect changings in local dir to remote dir,
# remote to local, or in both directions
synchronize {local|remote|both]
# Repeat for other directories if necessary
close
exit
