Specify the id of the package to mirror, the url to query the target repository (list command) and the url to push packages to the target repository. If a path to a packages.config file is used instead of a package id, all the packages it contains are mirrored to the given version (if specified) or latest otherwise. Assuming you're targeting a private repository under http://machine/repo installed using NuGet.Server, the list and push urls will be http://machine/repo/nuget and http://machine/repo/api/v2/package respectively.
