Transfer Log

The connection and transfer information messages exchanged between PC to FTP and FTP to FTP are stored in the Transfer Log.  All events are stored for review.

The transfer log contains 3 columns – Date Time, Events and Description.  When an event occurs, the date and time of the event is logged.  The Description of the event provides additional information about the event.  Transfer log messages are divided into different events.  Different colors are used to indicate each type of event.

Log event are categorized into:

• Command: Command is a request sent to the server, to perform a particular task.  These are requests to the server to initiate the transfer process. 

• Response: Response is a message received from Server, after a command is sent. 

• Status: Status messages contains useful information about the current operation.  Eg: New folder was created, Connecting to server, etc

• Error: An error message appears when an operation fails or some server side exception is received.  Eg: If the connection with a Server is lost.
