Using scp -r to copy to the "DSpace Release Candidate" file directory: (example for 1.8.0-rc2)
(NOTE: You will need to first create the 'DSpace Release Candidate/a folder in your target directory, named "1.8.0-rc2' directory via SourceForge's Admin UI" or whatever the name of the release is, and then mv all the tar.gz and zip files to that folder... you're going to recursively scp the entire contents of that folder to Sourceforge)

scp <files> -r <release_folder_with_zips> <username>,dspace@frs.sourceforge.net:"/home/frs/project/d/ds/dspace/DSpace\\ Release\\ Candidate/1.8.0-rc2/"
