ADPNet drop server

The ADPNet drop server (drop.adpn.org) is a server shared by the Members of ADPNet for use in staging new or updated content for digital preservation. The goal is to simplify the process of ingesting content into the LOCKSS network: if you can use common file-uploading tools like WinSCP then you should be able to make content available to the network for preservation.
