QUESTION

Can I copy my EFT Server log files to another location using FTP commands or Event Rules?

ANSWER

Yes. EFT Server log files can be copied to another location using one of the following methods:

• Create a Timer Event Rule that runs a custom command (such as a Windows file copy command) to copy the log files to another directory or system.

• Manually copy the files using an FTP client (for example, CuteFTP), if access to the log directory is permitted.

Because log file locations and available features can vary between EFT versions, refer to the help documentation for your specific version of EFT and search for “xcopy” or file copy operations for detailed examples.

Important Notes:

• Log files may be locked while EFT is running; copying (not moving) the files is recommended.

• Exercise caution when granting access to system directories (especially System32) or exposing log directories through FTP.

• Ensure appropriate permissions are in place to avoid unintended access to sensitive system files.
