Adding files to NCBI directory

Below files in the reviewed folder are added to the ftp://glygen@ftp-private.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/holdings every release. Make sure to add other files when new organisms are added from the reviewed folder.

These files are for the NCBI RefSeq and PubMed Linkouts

NCBI RefSeq Linkouts
sarscov2_protein_ncbi_linkouts.csv
sarscov1_protein_ncbi_linkouts.csv
rat_protein_ncbi_linkouts.csv
protein_ncbi_gene_linkouts.csv
mouse_protein_ncbi_linkouts.csv
human_protein_ncbi_linkouts.csv
fruitfly_protein_ncbi_linkouts.csv

PubMed Linkouts
protein_ncbi_pubmed_linkouts_two.csv
protein_ncbi_pubmed_linkouts_three.csv
protein_ncbi_pubmed_linkouts_one.csv

To add files to NCBI Holding directory I use FileZilla FTP Tool
1) Connect to the FTP server

The FTP details to connect to the NCBI Holding directory are 
Host:  ftp-private.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Username: glygen
Password: 84xc2uMk

Once connected, you will see remote site showing /holding directory with already added files

2) Add the files to be added to holding folder in the local site in a new folder.

3) Upload the files to the holdings directory. Please note the provider.xml file remains as is. The format is as per NCBI. Download a copy if needed.

4) Check the uploaded files.

5) After every month or two you will recieve statistics notifications from Linkouts. If you do not recieve notification contact Linda Hutcherson from Linkouts - hutchel@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov or linkout@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov 

Currenlty, Jeet Raja, Mike and Robel receive the stats
