Inconsistent download URLs for RC releases
Hi,
I've installed WinSCP using Scoop. Current version is 6.5.7. However I want to test latest beta, 6.6.3.RC, to sign in using OpenSSH ssh-agent. Scoop has a nice feature to auto-generate manifests for any version, but it won't work with RC versions.
Indeed, the proper URL is
Could the folder name be the actual release version, only with dots and without space? I believe it will be useful for other automation software as well.
Thanks

Indeed, the proper URL is
https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/winscp/WinSCP/6.6.3 RC/WinSCP-6.6.3.RC-Portable.zip, i.e. the release folder is named with a space before RC instead of a dot.
