After the weekly data collection process concludes, the system creates a .json data file and sends it to ftp://productfeedback.novell.com/stats/filr.
If the FTP transfer is unsuccessful, the system attempts to send it again during the next weekly cycle. No send attempts are made outside of the weekly cycles.
Data files are sent through a regular non-secure FTP connection. File contents are not encrypted because no sensitive or identifying information is included.
