comma-delimited information about the activities of Beyond FTP. The log file
includes a header record that defines the following fields:
1. Date Date of the record. Format mm/dd/yy
2. Time Time written. Format hh:mm:ss
3. LocalServer Name of the Beyond FTP server writing the log.
4. Script Name of the script that generated the record.
5. Status Error value or zero if the action worked.
6. RemoteServer Name of the remote server, if any.
7. User Name of the user, if any
8. Action The action logged (see below)
9. FileFrom Name of the source file. May be local or remote.
10. FileTo Name of the destination file. May be local or remote.

application. Beyond FTP will automatically remove older log files, based on
the number of days of data you choose to save.
