 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.
