Question: Once a task changes status to "Ready to report" does it send its outcome automatically ? or do I need to do something ? (e.g. explicit transfer)

It will happen automatically, though not necessarily immediately.

There are a number of triggers for task reporting: the commonest is when BOINC needs to request new work from the same project (fetching and reporting use the same communications link). BOINC will normally report tasks anyway after one hour (unless something else has triggered an earlier report). If an attempt to report work fails for any reason (project unreachable, or project servers down for maintenance), the task will remain "Ready to report" and BOINC will retry periodically. If the report is successful, the task will disappear from the BOINC Manager display.
