Alternate Between Two Log Files

 

This control instructs Robo-FTP Server to use two alternating log files each with a specified maximum file size rather than a single file of unlimited size.

 

This method of logging insures that the server log files will never grow to exceed a known maximum size and still maintains a reasonable -- and definable -- history of server activity.

 

Robo-FTP Server writes log messages to the first file. When the size of this file exceeds the specified maximum, it is closed and Robo-FTP Server writes to the second file. When this file exceeds the maximum, it is closed, the first file is deleted, and Robo-FTP Server writes again to the first file.
