Upload to SourceForge Script

Overview

This script allows you to upload files from your local directory to a specified project on SourceForge using SCP (Secure Copy Protocol). It lists available .img and .zip files, and you can select them for upload. Additionally, the script now includes an option to upload any file via a custom path, enabling users to upload other types of files by specifying the file location.

This script was created by Mahesh Technicals.
