Logging

Transfer Logs

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

Force Underscores

OffShoot has a hidden feature that allows for forcing underscores in the file name of the logs:

Set using Terminal command:

defaults write nl.syncfactory.Hedge.Mac SFIDefaultsForceUnderscores "1"

Extra Log Location

OffShoot has a hidden feature that allows for setting a secondary transfer log location:

Set using Terminal command:

defaults write nl.syncfactory.Hedge.Mac SFIDefaultsExtraLogLocation "/path/of/your/choice"

Media Hash Lists

When enabled, OffShoot creates a Media Hash List for each transfer (.mhl file) with the checksums (i.e. hashes) of all transferred files.

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.
