How-To Send a File with Priority

When you select transferPath during the pkgadd, a subdirectory called priority is created in the transferPath directory. Files placed in this priority subdirectory are given preference over other files being transferred in the transferPath directory; however, since validation and file transfers occur in parallel, some non-priority items might finish transferring before a priority file. Sun Explorer files that are generated for a specific support case (using the explorer -C option to provide a case number) are treated as priority files whether placed in the priority subdirectory or the main transfer directory.

If the sftransport.xml file is edited to change the transferPath to a new directory, a subdirectory called priority must exist in that new directory before you can startup the Sun SFT daemon.
