Public bug reported:
Getting the output file to its final destination is a big part of the
usefulness of this utility. It would be very convenient to have a
switch (-u for upload?) that would trigger a dialog to collect
information necessary for uploading the file. Default values for dialog
questions would be important (and on a per-distro, or some other, basis)
as the usefulness of this feature would be significantly lessened if the
user had to fill in a bunch of fields. This could take the form of sub-
switches where one, in particular, could be targeted at support
organizations, for example Canonical Support (cs), for the Ubuntu
distro.
$ sudo sosreport -a -u cs
An important element would be authentication as we would not want files
ending up in the wrong place. One possibility may be for the support
organization to have its receiving (sftp?) server change a global
password on a regular (monthly?) basis and email it back to the org.
