Upload files to Sourceforge with Filezilla SFTP Quickconnect

This is a quick recap on how to connect to Sourceforge using Filezilla FTP client. A typical Google search does not always make it clear for many people.

Let us assume some variables for clarity:

Your sourceforge user name: sfusername
Sourceforge project: sfproject
Folder you want to upload to to: sfFolder

How to connect:

Host: sftp://frs.sourceforge.net
User name: sfusername
Password: **************
Port:
(leave blank) Quickconnect.

You will get connected to your home directory.

Status:    Connected to frs.sourceforge.net
Status:    Retrieving directory listing...
Command:    pwd
Response:    Current directory is: "/home/users/s/sf/sfusername"
 Then change directory to your project's home folder:

cd /home/frs/project/sfproject/sfFolder/

Continue accordingly.
