Logging all console activity to a file - how?

Hi all,

Well I've had a bit more experience with Unix-like environments since my last post, now that I have started working on my website in earnest and am doing much of the file manipulation via the command line through SSH.

The thing is, I want to be able to log all console activity, basically everything that appears in the window, both my input and the returned output from the system.

How do I do this on a cygwin port? I couldn't find any commands to do it through Google, or maybe I'm not using the right terminology.

Thanks.

H.
