The Log Window, visible in the upper portion of CuteFTP Mac, shows every action CuteFTP Mac performs and the server's responses. Many error codes and problems will show up here. You can save the contents of the log window to a file for review, and to help with troubleshooting.
The log displayed in the log pane automatically scrolls so that most recent data is displayed at the bottom of the log. If you click somewhere within the log, the log will stay at the selection position and not auto-scroll. Once you manually scroll down to the most recent entry or remove the cursor focus by placing the focus somewhere else, the log will return to auto-scroll mode.
