Each Node of the TeleFinder Server puts a log file in the "Log Files" folder. This folder is in the same folder as the TeleFinder Server application. You can open it with TeleFinder/User's text editor or any word processing program.
The file is a text file containing a chronological listing of individual user activities, such as files transferred, folders opened, and mail sent. The log file shows the time the host started, when users connected, and when they logged off.
To set TeleFinder Server's log file options, follow the instructions below:
• Select the "Log File Options" command from the BBS menu. TeleFinder Server will open the "Log File Options" dialog.
• Select the options in the "Log File Messages" group to customize the information stored in your log file.
TeleFinder Server logs the following information when you turn these options on:
- Opened Folders - A message whenever a user opens a folder.
- File Transfers - Information about each file transfer.
- Chatting - The text from user to Sysop on-line chats.
- Message Activity - a message when users read or write e-mail and messages in topics.
