Activation of an error log file

This documentation article only applies to the TwinCAT FTP Client up to version 3.x.

In order to better localize occurring errors and to obtain a better description in the event of an error, the TwinCAT FTP Client offers the option of logging occurring errors in a text file.

The text file with the name "TcFTPErrorLog.txt" is always generated in the folder in which the "EXE" of the TwinCAT FTP Client is located.

You can activate this functionality by creating the following registry key:

32-bit: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Beckhoff\TwinCAT3 Functions\TF6300 FTP\Configuration\ErrorLog"

64-bit: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Beckhoff\TwinCAT3 Functions\TF6300 FTP\Configuration\ErrorLog"

With the value 0, the functionality is stopped after a restart of the TwinCAT system.

With the value 1, the functionality is started after a restart of the TwinCAT system and a simple error logging is performed.

With the value 2, the functionality is started after a restart of the TwinCAT system and extended error logging is performed.
