Closest I can find to the docs is https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/biosample/docs/submission/faq/ which links to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/viewvc/v1/trunk/submit/public-docs/, but all the docs folders are empty in there.
We should as part of this update the docs on how the NCBI uploader works.
I asked NCBI what happened to these books and was informed that they were out-of-date and were removed.
I believe the expected method to setup such an account is to email NCBI (the SRA support email) directly and ask for a "Center account for simplified format" and that you want to use the FTP (instead of Aspera) method to connect. We should update our docs to reflect this.
Describe the bug
Link to NCBI docs to set up bulk SRA uploader is broken. Previously linked to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK47529/#_SRA_Quick_Sub_BK_Establishing_a_Center_A_

Additional context
@tom114 has done some looking into their current docs and I don't see where this section is now located. This bit of docs might need to be revised.
