How Do I Upload VMware Logs?

Uploading VMware logs typically involves transferring the collected log files from their source location to a destination, often using a file transfer client. Based on the provided information, a common method involves using a file browser interface within a connected client.

Here's how you can upload VMware logs following the process described:

Once you are connected to the correct destination directory where the logs need to be uploaded, you will navigate on your local system to locate the log files.

Steps to Upload Logs

The process involves selecting the file on your local machine and initiating the transfer to the connected remote site.

1. Locate Local Files: Using the file browser pane that shows your local system's files, browse to the specific directory where your VMware log files are stored. Alternatively, you can enter the full path to the log file directory directly into the "Local site" field provided in the client interface.
2. Select and Upload: Once you have found the log file(s) you wish to upload, right-click the file and click Upload. This action initiates the transfer process for the selected file.
3. Confirm Destination: After initiating the upload, you may be prompted to verify the destination directory on the remote server. Verify the directory and click OK to confirm the upload path and begin the transfer.

This method is commonly used with secure file transfer clients (like SFTP or FTPS clients) when uploading logs to support portals, shared directories, or internal servers.

For instance, if you've collected logs into a .tgz or .zip file on your desktop, you would use the local file browser in your transfer client to navigate to your desktop, find the log archive, and then follow the right-click upload steps to send it to the designated remote folder.

This process assumes you have already established a connection to the target destination using appropriate credentials and protocol. The specific interface may vary slightly depending on the file transfer software being used.
