To review logs of other components, click Open Logs Folder to open the folder that contains transfer logs: 

C:\Program Files\Aspera\Client\var\log

The following files are available in the log folder. Older logs are stored with the same filename, appended with incremental numbers (e.g. ascmd.0.log).

File name Contents
ascmd.log File browsing and manipulation in the GUI
aspera-scp-transfer.log FASP transfer events
asperasync.log Hot Folder events
async.log Sync events

To set the logging level for transfers, open the My Preferences dialog by clicking Tools > Preferences or by clicking Preferences in the upper-right corner of the application window.

The five logging levels to select from are: Off, Error, Warn, Info, and Debug. The system default is Info.
