Upload files with SFTP

You may use an open-source SFTP client or LINUX command line to SFTP. If you need assistance with LINUX, please contact OCLC Support to receive SFTP credentials for your institution.

There is no restriction on file size; however, internet connectivity and file size can impact how long it takes for a file to transfer.

Available data centers

The data center associated with your institution's account depends on the region in which you are located. You will receive your data center assignment along with your SFTP credentials.

Note: You must always use your assigned data center.
