Robo-FTP User's Guide > Script Programming > Script Commands > All Script Commands > SESSIONLOG - (Deprecated) Control the session log file

Syntax:	SESSIONLOG	[ file name ] \| [ /options ]
Arguments:	[ file name ]	Optional variable or string defining a file or path name; if no path is defined the alternate default path is used.
Options:	/delete	Delete an existing default session log file. This file is normally concatenated to and can grow quite large if not deleted before
	/off	Turn session logging off.
	/on	Turn session logging on (assuming that [ file name ] has been previously defined on an earlier call to SESSIONLOG or a log file has been previously defined under the Logging menu of the Robo-FTP Configurator).

The SESSIONLOG command is deprecated and may be removed from a future will release. It currently has no effect as of Robo-FTP version 3.11.

If the [ file name ] argument is present, this script command creates a new session log file by this name. It is also implied that logging is to be turned on. The session log file records diagnostic messages that may be helpful in debugging secure (SSH/SSL) file transfer failures. Information about normal (non-secure) file transfer sessions does not appear in this file.

The following command specifies a secure session log file and enables logging if it isn’t already enabled.

SESSIONLOG "new_session.log"

The following command specifies a secure session log file, deletes the currently defined file (if any) and enables logging if it isn’t already enabled.

SESSIONLOG "new_session.log" /delete

If [ file name ] is omitted, the /on and /off options control logging to a previously defined log file. When logging is turned on, new log messages are appended to the existing log file. For example:

SESSIONLOG /on

If this command is issued when connected to a secure FTP site, any changes to the session log file will take place after logging off and back on again.
