Generating a pcAnywhere log file
You can use pcAnywhere log generation if your operating system does not provide
logging capabilities or if you want to maintain a separate log file for pcAnywhere
events. Symantec pcAnywhere lets you send logged events to the local computer
or to a secure, central server. For local logging, host-initiated events are logged
on the host computer. Remote-initiated events are logged on the remote computer.
To log events on a central server, you must have access rights to the server.

"About logging information to a central server"
