Say the depot path is //depot/project/...

From the command line, do p4 sync //depot/project/fold1/fold2/...

(the "..." tells Perforce you want that folder and everything under it).

From P4V, right-click on the folder and choose "Get Latest Revision". It will only pull in the folder and everything underneath it.

Suppose I have mapped my depot to client workspace as c:/perforce/project but now

I want to sync all the files present in c:/perforce/project/fold1/fold2 folder.

How can we do it, as the command p4 sync takes only file names and not folder.

You can also do this using local or relative paths, e.g. cd to c:\perforce\project and then "p4 sync fold1/fold2/..."

This is what I wanted. Thanks for pointing "..." tells Perforce you want that folder and everything under it. I was missing it. Can you also tell the command for getting Workspace directory and Workspace name.

Something like "p4 sync C:/mydir/myfolder/..." will work IF that path is under your default p4 workspace setting. (Since I typically have several workspaces going, I use .p4config just to make sure I'm in the right place and syncing what I want to sync).

this seems to be accepting file paths only not folder paths, I tried folder path and I get message - no such files(s).

Yes, P4 tracks things by file, so if you don't have any files in a folder you could get that message.
