Where are the Transfer Tool logs located?

Question

When transferring one or many accounts between two servers, sometimes it becomes necessary to review the transfer log to ensure nothing has been missed. Where are these logs?

Answer

The Transfer Tool logs are located in the /var/cpanel/transfer_sessions/ directory. To find the relevant transfer log, first find the log corresponding to the transfer ID:

[root@server]# ls /var/cpanel/transfer_sessions/
$filename1 $filename2 $filename3
...

Then use the view_transfer tool to view the log, replacing $filename with the filename corresponding to the transfer ID:

[root@server]# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/view_transfer $filename
