WinTailMulti

Most lengthy computer operations are followed by a detail screen enlisting all operation details, which is especially useful in case something goes wrong. A common file type for this is the LOG file, and you can use specialized applications like WinTailMulti in order to tail multiple log files together and eventually upload them to FTP.

Once the application gets installed, and this only takes a little while, you can launch it and put it to the test. The interface is highly intuitive, mostly because it uses the popular Ribbon menu with which you’re most likely already familiar. As such, you can overview the set of features in a matter of seconds.

Things aren’t complicated at all with the application relying on the popular Unix TAIL command. What this means is that it’s capable of loading multiple log files and present them in a single, larger one so you don’t have to work with multiple items for the same purpose on the long run.

However, the application is capable of more than just tailing log files to keep your work organized. For instance, it’s fitted with FTP and mail support to have log files sent to destinations of interest once tailing is complete. Moreover, you don’t necessarily have to manually trigger the process.

Needless to say that you can and need to set up outgoing sources. This means configuring mail, FTP, and WCF servers, with support for popular protocols. Once these details are filled in, files are automatically sent. You can also export your logs to other types of formats or simply send files to common computer locations.

Bottom line is that log files are of great importance in testing and analysis. As such, WinTailMulti provides an intuitive way to gather them all in a single file and send it either to your inbox or a particular FTP server.
