Upload files via Customer Portal
Refer Attaching files for attaching files with less than 1GB size via Red Hat Customer Portal.
Please Note: vmcore (crash dump) files, regardless of their size, should always be uploaded to the FTP server. sosreport files should be attached to the support case through the web interface whenever possible. These actions help speed the support process.
Red Hat Support Tool
To upload files directly from your system, you can also use Red Hat Support Tool (redhat-support-tool). It gives you flexibility and also scripting capabilities. The simplest way to upload a normal-size file, e.g.: sosreport, is this:
$ redhat-support-tool addattachment -c CASE_NUMBER /path/to/sosreport
