FTP log files

Any way to do this automatically on line?

I have 3 sites through iPowerWeb, one is my personal home page, one is my sister's business' home page, and the 3rd is a forum. The forum resides on a different server from the other two and the Raw Access Logs for it are cumulative for the month, while the other two reset each day. I talked to them about getting the business web site moved to the server with the cumulative files and they informed me that all servers will be moving to a daily reset.

iPowerWeb has done away with the Analog analysis and the Webalizer is not detailed enough, so I have been analyzing the Raw Access Logs.

Here's the problem. I don't have an "always on" computer to FTP the daily logs to my computer each night before they reset. Does anyone know of anything that can be scheduled on line to automatically FTP these files? Is there a web host that can do this for me?

I dont know ipowerweb but apache servers allow you to configure logrotate and then cron to run ....

Logrotate will auto rotate the files for you and email you the oldest in the set .. its pretty easy on an apache server to set this up ...

There may be a windows alternative available if you are on that ...

iPowerWeb hosts my domains and servers. I don't have the servers or a Windows box that stays on. I know a job can be scheduled through Windows to do this and maybe I need to just leave the computer on, have the FTP scheduled, then have it shut down after that.

how is webalizer not detailed enough for you?

It only gives the top:
30 of XXX URLs
10 of XXX URLs by KBytes
30 of XXX Total sites
10 of XXX Total sites by KBytes
250 of XXX Total Referrers
15 of XXX Total User Agents

The referral site list doesn't list the full URL.

I want the intimate details that are available in the Raw Access logs.

tracylee,

is this a self install or something tat your host has installed? you can adjust many of those settings and even get links under those tables that show /all/ of those entries...

on my system, i had to drop back to using the defaults for the number of entries in those tables so i could get those links because my webalizer tracks, groups and hides so much... as an example, my config currently tracks over 1000 domains in the GroupSite/HideSite section and i generally add more each month... i also group and hide referrers in the same manner and currently have about 70 of those... te site/domain grouping is definitely my largest and most comsumptive of resources :)

It's on the host cpanel without options. They used to have an analog option that had all of the details, but that went away awhile ago, at which point I started just downloading the Raw Access Logs and analyzing stuff myself.

I'll just check out XPs scheduler tonight when I get home from work.

I had my host tell me how to increase the size of my log files so they don't rotate so often. That way I have time to download the files that are getting ready to "drop" from the server to my local PC so I have a complete historical file of logs.
