For each transfer, OffShoot creates a Transfer Log with details about the transfer and transferred files. Transfer Logs are always saved locally and optionally also on the Destination.
You can access OffShoot's Transfer Logs via the menu: Window > Transfer Logs (or Command-L), or by going to this location in Finder:
~/Library/Application Support/Hedge/Transfer Logs
OffShoot has a hidden feature that allows for forcing underscores in the file name of the logs:

When enabled, OffShoot creates a Media Hash List for each transfer (.mhl file) with the checksums (i.e. hashes) of all transferred files. The .mhl is included in the root of the folder that you transferred into.
More information on media hash lists can be found on https://mediahashlist.org.
Don't want Transfer Logs and Media Hash Lists on your destination? You can turn this feature off in Settings > Transfers > Paper Trail > Create Transfer Logs and (MHLs) on Destinations.
When OffShoot's Checkpoint feature detects a Media Hash List on your Source, it will use those checksums as a reference instead of doing an extra Source Verification source read.
OffShoot Pro users can choose between creating legacy MHLs and ASC MHLs .
This feature requires an OffShoot Pro license. Upgrade via the License Manager, or via OffShoot > Settings > License. Check out all Pro features here.
ASC MHL creation is only available when Checkpoint is ON and in Archive mode. More information on the ASC MHL standard can be found on American Society of Cinematographers website.
