Sun SFT Software

The Sun SFT software is meant to be an aggregation and transfer point for telemetry data from other hosts. It detects and validates configured file types and then invokes a transfer process to send the data to the configured destination.

The Sun SFT software is distributed as a Solaris SUNWsftransport package that is installed under a standard location, /opt/SUNWsftransport. A Sun Online Account is required to install and run Sun SFT. Refer to the sftransport(1m) man page for information about command line options, and the sftransport(4) man page for a detailed description of the configuration file.

The following architecture diagram shows the configuration and communication routes of a typical Sun SFT network.
