Uploading files to Sourceforge

And how to redirect visitors

Creating a website on Sourceforge can be easier than it sounds if you just read the documentation provided by Sourceforge, with a key system for generating and accessing a shell with various esoteric tools.

Updated June 2015

This page was written 7 years ago, before the advent of GitHub and other project hosting services. Recently, Sourceforge has been a media focus as it includes malware in the archives it distributes for a fee and without the authors' consent. Therefore, I would advise you to evaluate all project placement options before choosing Sourceforge.

2017 update

The site was purchased in January 2016 at the same time as Slashdot and Freecode and abandoned the dubious practices of the previous management, including DevShare, which included parasitic programs in the archives for download.

Load files in space

Space means placing the content of his site in a subdomain sourceforge.net.

Windows will use Windows, which can be downloaded from Sourceforge.

Download winscp and run it.
Populate connection fields with the following
For a site field: web.sourceforge.net.
The field name can be changed. Check the documentation .
Ignoring key field.
Enter your Sourceforge account login and password.
Go to the right panel in your remote folder, not in your account, which appears by default :/home/user/, but in your project, which starts with :/home/groups/
Catalogs are subdivided by initials, then the first two letters, etc.
If your project is called monproject, go to/home/groups/m/mo/monproject/html/
Select local files in the left pane.
Drag them to the right pane.

Is that all.

Update archive on Sourceforge

This is also done with WinSCP:

The host field is currently frs.sourceforge.net.
uploads directory.
In frs.sourceforge.net, frs stands for File Release System.
Go to Feature Setting.
Release File System.
Right-click in the right column.
Creating package and release .

For more information on packages and releases, see the site documentation.

Set redirection

If you prefer to redirect your home page to the site, create the following index.php file:

<?php
    header("Status: 301 Moved Permanently");    
    header("Location:http://www.votresite.tld");             
?>

And put this file in html as indicated earlier...
