Description: The row status object controls the creation/deletion of rows in this table. Its semantics are the same as those for the RowStatus textual convention specified for SNMPv2.

Setting this object to createAndGo(4) is allowed. If required objects are missing, the agent will create the row and set its status to notReady(3). If all of the required objects are present and valid, the agent will create the row, set it to active and commence the file xfer. Upon completion of the file xfer, the agent will set the rowStatus to notInService(2), indicating that the row is valid and useable by a management client. To commence another transfer, a management client should set the rowStatus to active(1).

Setting this object to createAndWait(5) causes an entry to be created with rsFileXferRowStatus value of notInService(2) if all of the required objects are present and valid. Or, if some of the required objects are missing or invalid, the agent will create the row and sets its status to notReady(3).

Setting this object to active(1) causes the transfer to start for the given row. Objects within the row cannot be modified once a row has been set to active(1),

Setting this object to destroy(6) causes the corresponding row to be deleted.

Note that only a single instance of a row can be active at at any given moment, although several rows can exist in the table.
