# Description

Use the libURLSetLogField command to debug file transfers.

>*Important:* The libURLSetLogField command does not accept direct > object reference. For example, the following > statement causes an error message:

libURLSetLogField field "Log" -- CAN'T USE THIS FORM

Instead, use a form that evaluates to a field reference, like this:

libURLSetLogField the name of field "Log" -- use this form instead libURLSetLogField ("field" && quote & "Log" & quote) -- or this

During ftp and http transfers, LiveCode logs the data sent from the server. If a log field has been set, this data is placed after the log field contents.

To stop logging, use the following statement:

libURLSetLogField "none"

To ensure that the command works in a > standalone application, you must include this > LiveCode custom library when you create your > standalone application.
