Description: The object is used to initiate the transfer manually. When read, it always returns the value 'ready(1)'. Setting the object to 'execute(2)' initiates the transfer as long as the xsysTransferRowStatus is 'active(1)' and another transfer is not currently in progress. The 'executeAndCreateBootRecord(3)' additionally creates a BootImageEntry if the transfer is of an OS image into flash. If the BootImageTable is full, the file transfer will fail. The newly created BootImageEntry will be initialized with the lowest priority and RowStatus of notInService. The value 'abort(3)' attempts to abort the transfer and will return a inconsistentValue SNMP error when set if the xsysTransferOperStatus is not currently 'inProgress(1)'.

The action 'secureTransfer' is similar to the 'execute' action except it can only be used for configuration files when the source or destination is nvram. SecureTransfer uses authentication and encryption to protect the configuration file from modification, and from interception.
