FTP stands for “File Transfer Protocol.” It is easy to use and is the most efficient way to send data to EBSCO. We will supply you with FTP login credentials (the host URL, username, and password). You can log-in, and then drag and drop your PDFs onto the FTP folder.
These files will be mirrored to EBSCO’s server and our Content Management team will retrieve them for processing.
If your company has its own consistent FTP location where we can retrieve new files, you can arrange for us to pull your files from that location.
For instructions on how to use FTP, please refer to the Flipster Submission Guidelines.
