SCP

[[include in-progress (not found)]]

SCP

SourceForge.net provides support for managing project web and developer web content, and uploading file releases using SCP through our File management service.

SCP (Secure copy) is part of the SSH protocol suite.

Authentication

Authenticating via SCP requires the use of a "combined" username for the project web space. The combined username is composed of your SourceForge.net account username and the project UNIX name for which you want to upload or download files. A comma (",") is used as a delimiter between these two components.

Example:

SourceForge.net username: jsmith
User jsmith has a project with the UNIX name: fooproject
Combined username: jsmith,fooproject
Note: The Developer web space only requires the use of your SourceForge.net account name.

The password for both cases is always the password associated with your SourceForge.net user account.

Clients

SCP clients include:

• scp, a command-line client included in OpenSSH, available on Mac OS X, Linux, and BSD natively; and on MS Windows through Cygwin.
• pscp, a command-line client included in PuTTY, available for MS Windows.
• WinSCP, a graphical client available for MS Windows.
  Examples are provided for scp:

For managing file releases

FRS Hostname: frs.sourceforge.net
Path: /home/frs/project/P/PR/PROJECT_UNIX_NAME/ - Substitute your project UNIX name data for /P/PR/PROJECT_UNIX_NAME
Username: Your SourceForge.net Username
Password: Your SourceForge.net Password
An example session might look like (where Username="jsmith", Project UNIX name="fooproject",Release dir is "Rel_1"):

[jsmith@linux ~]$ scp FILE jsmith,fooproject@frs.sourceforge.net:/home/frs/project/f/fo/fooproject/Rel_1
