An Explorer file contains necessary information needed by Sun support 
engineers to diagnose system issues: hardware or software.  Due to security 
concerns and policies most companies do not allow the transfer of Explorer 
files via email to the Sun engineer or ftp to ftp://supportfiles.sun.com, 
because the system information being transferred is not encrypted due to 
the nature of the designed protocols.  This document explains how one can 
upload Explorer files to Sun in a secure manner.


Sun has created this website: https://supportfiles.sun.com/ for customers who
want to upload Explorer files to Sun through its secured and encrypted HTTPS
channel.  Companies will no longer have to worry about its system information
being exposed to the public in plain text format when transferring.

The requirements are that a system would need to have an Internet browser
installed (Mozilla, IE, and etc.), have access to a GUI desktop, Internet
access, and access to where the Explorer files are stored.

There are 3 steps to follow:

1. In step 1, click the "Browse" button to obtain the Explorer file to be
uploaded to Sun.
2. In step 2, in the "Destination" drop down box select "Explorer". 
3. Click the button "Upload", and you are done!

This allows upload of Explorer files to Sun in a secured way.
================================================================================
CURL
------
You must specify the filename to upload to:

curl -T $1 https://supportfiles.sun.com/curl?file=$2&root=$3

where:
 $1 is the local filename
 $2 is the remote filename - no path
 $3 is the remote directory - one of the following
  * cores
  * europe-cores/asouth/incoming
  * europe-cores/ch/cores
  * europe-cores/de/incoming
  * europe-cores/fr/cores
  * europe-cores/se/cores
  * europe-cores/uk/incoming
  * iplanetcores
  * explorer
  * explorer-amer
  * explorer-apac
  * explorer-emea

NOTE:
 The ampersand that designates the 'root' form value must be escaped
 with the '' character in the curl command line.
