To set the logging level for transfers, open the My Preferences dialog by clicking Tools > Preferences or by clicking Preferences in the menu bar of the application window.
The five logging levels to select from are: Off, Error, Warn, Info, and Debug. The system default is Info.
If you find that logs are being overwritten before long transfers of many files are complete, you can increase the log size. For more information, see Logs overwritten before transfer completes.
