#27411 How to upload files to Sourceforge using Filezilla SFTP Client with 2FA (TOTP)

[Odie Pastunik]

Dear servicedesk,

The "Using SFTP with FileZilla" section, in the SourceForge SFTP manual, does not work, when 2FA (TOTP) is enabled.

I created a howto:
Upload files to Sourceforge using Filezilla SFTP Client with 2FA (TOTP)

I hope this helps The Forge!
Kind regards, Odie

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

In Filezilla, make sure to choose the Interactive logon type when creating a new server connection for 2FA (see attachment).

Sincerely,
SourceForge Support

Hello Support,

Thanks for pointing out the [menu File\Site Manager] panel.

The attached screendump isn't entirely correct. When using the following entry:

• host = frs.sourceforge.net

instead of:

• host = frs.sourceforge.net/home/frs/project/${UrlProjectName}/

you'll end up in the "/home/users/{FirstCharOfUserName}/{FirstAndSecondCharOfUserName}/{UserName}/" folder, in my case, the "/home/users/o/od/odiep/" folder. You'll only see the following files:

.bash_logout
.bash_profile
.bashrc
.zshrc

There's noting to do there.

May The Forge be with you!

Kind regards, Odie

Hello,

That's mentioned in the first line of the Filezilla section in our SFTP documentation.
