How to handle log Files with the help of Cygwin?

The following steps are useful to guide that way,

1. Install Cygwin in your pc

Url: http://www.cygwin.com/mirrors.html

2. Download your production log file.

Ex: I am using FileZilla to download log file. If u want to install Filezilla in ur Pc then got this site and get it.

URL http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21558

3. After getting the production.log file Paste that one to the follwingpath.

c:\cygwin\ home\SYSTEMNAME\(PASTEHERE) production.log

Handling CYGWIN:
