Transfer Log Settings

You can set Auto  FTP Manager to save the transfer log after each Automated Transfer.  The log can be saved either to your PC, a network drive, or an FTP server, or emailed to any address or list of addresses.

To configure Transfer Log Settings:

1. On the Transfer Log Settings tab, check Enable copying of Automated Transfer Log.
2. Select On FTP Server or On my PC or network option under Folder location.
3. If you have chosen to save the log on the an FTP server, give FTP Connection Details such as Server Name, User Name, Password and Port.
4. Specify the Folder name where you want to save the log.  Click on Browse to navigate any folder of your choice.
5. Under Transfer Log Settings, choose Overwrite Transfer Logs option to overwrite previous logs with the most recent ones.  Select Maintain history of Transfer Logs by appending current datetime if you want to retain older logs.
6. If you have selected E-mail: 

   Enter an email address in the From: area.  This is the address that the mailed Transfer Logs will be received from.  Whatever email address you enter in the To: area is the one that will receive the messages.  You can put multiple addresses in this area, separated by commas, if you would like more than one person to receive the logs.

   Auto FTP Manager sends email using an outgoing mail server.  All ISPs should provide configuration instructions for sending and receiving e-mail using an e-mail client like Microsoft Outlook.  The instructions also contain the address of the outgoing (SMTP) mail server.  Enter this in the Outgoing Mail Server area.

   In the Mail Server Port box, specify the name or address of the outgoing mail server.  Most outgoing mail servers use Port 25.  If your ISP's mail server uses a different port then specify it in the Outgoing Mail Server Port box.

   Some mail servers require Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption on all sent mail.  If your server requires SSL, check This server requires a secure connection (SSL). This type of protection is also sometimes referred to as "TLS".

   If the outgoing mail server requires to you to log in before sending e-mails then check the My Outgoing Mail Server requires login option.  Specify login information in the Account Name and Password boxes.

   To test the mail settings, press Send Test Email. To view the log generated when sending a test e-mail, click View E-mail Log.  You can use the e-mail log to diagnose e-mail related problems.

7. Click OK to apply the settings.
