Actually, there's an autoscript that regenerates setup.ini based on the
files underneath /cygwin. In the absence of a .hint file in a given
directory, I think the script parses the filename of the tarball (not
the directory name) So mingw-runtime-<ver>-<rel>.tar.bz2 would cause a
"mingw-runtime" entry to be created, even if you uploaded it into the
latest/mingw/ directory.
You probably need to ssh, not scp -- if you're going to create a new
directory (/latest/mingw-runtime instead of /latest/mingw). But the path is
sourceware.cygnus.com:/sourceware/ftp/anonftp/pub/cygwin/latest/...
