HOWTO: Using LogWriter property to create a communication log

Enhanced logging capabilities are supported in all session-based libraries (=nearly all Rebex libraries except Rebex Time).

Steps to enable logging in Rebex libraries

1. Add reference to Rebex.Common.dll.
2. Add following code after each call to the Rebex library main class constructor. The "client" is an instance of Ftp, Sftp, Scp, Smtp, Imap, Pop3, Ssh, Telnet, WebClient or HttpRequestCreator class.

   C#

   // change the log path if needed
   client.LogWriter = new Rebex.FileLogWriter(@"c:\temp\log.txt", Rebex.LogLevel.Debug);
   

   VB.NET

   ' change the log path if needed
   client.LogWriter = new Rebex.FileLogWriter("c:\temp\log.txt", Rebex.LogLevel.Debug)
