As you can see below I have specified a log file and logging is enabled. You can see baretail opened in the background to the same file as the telnet logfile. I then initiated a connection that fails. Why is there no log data?

logfile FileName : Sets the file to be used for logging Telnet activity. The log file must be on your local computer. Logging begins automatically when you set this option.
logging : Turns on logging. If no log file is set, an error message appears.
I figured out that this is for logging active sessions. It does not log connection errors. It only starts logging on a successful connection.

I don't know how to get more specific... – Devil's Advocate – 2016-11-08T15:51:13.607
Try setting the mode. Try a different directory. – Ramhound – 2016-11-08T16:00:27.967
"FileName sets the file to be used for logging Telnet activity. The log file must be on your local computer." If your E drive is a network drive, then it would fail the requirement, of being on your local computer. If you need a network log file, I suggest, using a more versatile telnet application. – Ramhound – 2016-11-08T16:07:01.320
E:\ is a local drive. – Devil's Advocate – 2016-11-08T18:28:21.043
Also the telnet session was a command prompt with administrative privileges. – Devil's Advocate – 2016-11-08T18:28:43.557
Your screenshot says otherwise :$ – Ramhound – 2016-11-08T18:29:38.633
You almost had me, but if you go through the steps once you issue the
opencommand the title of the window changes. – Devil's Advocate – 2016-11-08T18:32:34.500proof: http://imgur.com/a/C6kDr
