How to create a log of communication between component and server?

Question

Is it possible to create a detailed log of communication between client (component) and the server? It would help us detect problem sources. The log should include:

• Commands sent by client
• Responses received from server
• Description of activities

Answer 1

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

Steps to enable logging in Rebex components:

1. Add reference to Rebex.Common.dll and Rebex.Networking.dll
2. Add following code after each call to the Rebex component constructor. The "client" is an instance of Ftp, Sftp, Scp, Smtp, Imap, Pop3, Ssh or Telnet 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)

don't think, this is true. I am using Latest version 5.0.7840.0. I take the reference of Rebex.po3 and Rebex.Comon. It asks me to add reference of Rebex.Networking to add Log Write
mailClient.LogWriter = New Rebex.FileLogWriter
