Log File Settings

In the Global Options dialog box, you can specify where and when log files are saved, and how they are displayed.

To configure the log file settings

On the main menu, click Tools > Global Options (or press ALT+F7).
Expand the General node, then click Log Files. The Log Files options appear.

Configure the options as described below.

To specify the location at which logs are saved, in the Log path box, click the folder icon to browse for the folder or type a different path.
To delete log files automatically at time intervals you specify, select the Delete saved logs every check box. Specify whether to delete files after a specified number of days, hours, or minutes. Clear the check box to keep all log files, or if you plan to delete them in other ways.
To remove all log files from your log folder that are currently not in use, click Delete all logs.

Logs for active sessions are not automatically deleted.

Retain images in thumbnail cache - Thumbnails stored in the cache are not deleted when you exit CuteFTP or the Transfer Engine.
Delete images in thumbnail cache - The thumbnail cache is emptied when the Transfer Engine is exited.
Delete images older than value specified - Thumbnails are stored for the time specified by the thumbnail cache expiration drop down menu.

To empty the thumbnail cache immediately, click Delete thumbnail cache.

Logs can consume a large amount of system resources (memory and hard drive space), depending on the amount and size of files being transferred. It is recommended that you disable most logging (especially data connection logs) when performing a transfer that consists of many thousands of files, especially small files. To further reduce resource use, on the main menu, click Tools > Global Options, expand the Transfer node, click Events, then click Remove successful transfers from the queue automatically.

Click OK to save changes and close the Global Options dialog box.
