TFTP Server Log

The bottom half of the TFTP Server window is the log display showing log entries since the program was
started. To the left of the timestamp is an icon to indicate the type of log entry:

l

Information (indicated by an ‘i’ in a balloon),

l

Warning (indicated by a yellow warning sign),

l

Error (indicated by a red circle with an ‘x’ in it).

Each log entry is time-stamped and includes the IP address and UDP port of the client and a descriptive
message indicating the reason for the log entry.

The log file is a .csv (Comma-Separated Value) format file and can be imported into Microsoft Excel for
viewing or printing. The first line of the file contains column headers, and is followed by one line for each entry
in the log. For more information, see "Moving and Renaming the TFTP Server Log" on page 113.

Moving and Renaming the TFTP Server Log

By default, the TFTP Server log file is created in the FreeWave TFTP Server program folder and is named
“Log.csv”. You can move the file or change the file's name using the configuration options in the TFT Server
window. For example, you might decide to save a version of the file for a particular time period to a directory
prior to clearing the contents of the file, or you might decide to save the file to a more accessible location for
use in Microsoft Excel.

To move and rename the TFTP Server log:

1. Open the TFTP Server application.

2. Click Configure in the configuration options at the top of the window to display the Server

Configuration window.

3. In the Log File field, enter the directory where you want to save the log file and the file name.

Click the "..." button to the right of the field to open a file browser to select the directory.

4. Click OK to save your changes and return to the TFTP Server window.
