Tip: 

Logs can consume a large amount of system resources (memory and hard 

drive space), depending on the amount and size of files being transferred. 

It is recommended that you disable most logging (especially data 

connection logs) when performing a transfer that consists of many 

thousands of files, especially small files. To further reduce resource use, 

go to the menu and choose Tools > Global Options. Select Transfer > 

Events, and select Remove successful transfers from the queue 

automatically.
