| Context |
This article describes a function or feature of the software ZOC Terminal. The feature or element of the software described here is 'Logging Menu'. ZOC Terminal is a professional terminal emulator that is well known for its extensive features, security, user friendlyness, wide range of emulations and quality of emulation implementation. ZOC Terminal is a common choice to replace other terminal emulators like Putty, Kitty, Termius, Secure-CRT, Attachmate Extra!and others.
ZOC maintains multiple different logging methods. There are two memory logging mechanisms which are found in the View Menu. The log menu itself features permanent logging functions, i.e. logging to disk file and printer.
Log to File writes incoming data to a file on disk. Log to Printer sends incoming data to the printer. The call log records time, duration, cost and file transfers (see Options→Program Settings→Special Files).
The Logging menu controls file logging and printer logging.
| Log to File | |
This function turns file logging on or off. The same can be done by clicking the log file name in the
Status Line and can be done remotely if your
host supports the DC2/DC4 logging protocol (see
Options→Session Profile→Logging options).
| |
| Log to Printer | |
Sometimes it is handy to have part of a session sent to the printer. This is possible by enabling this function before receiving the data (e.g. before reading a mail).
To print text that has already been received, mark it in the scrollback
(View Menu), which copies it to the clipboard, and then choose
Print Clipboard from the Edit Menu.
| |
| Set Logfile Name | |
Set the name of the current log file. The name can be automatically
selected from the host directory when connecting to a host (when starting ZOC the
log file gets its name from Options→Session Profile→Logging options).
You may use special placeholders for the name as described
in placeholder codes and in
Options→Session Profile→Logging.
| |
| Use Default Logfile Name | |
This sets the log file to the file defined in
Options→Session Profile→Logging options.
| |
| Delete Log Files | |
Since you can build log file names that contain the current date you might
end up with a lot of log files. Using this function lets you delete log files
you do not need any more. Selecting this function will open a file
requester in which you can select one or more files which will be deleted
if you press OK.
| |
| Show Logfiles Folder | |
Opens the folder in which the log files are stored. | |
