Raw Access Log Files
Using any FTP program, you can download raw access logs from your
web site, and use any Statistics program available on the net to run against them. We keep
14 days worth of daily logs in your log directory, and they are compressed using
"gunzip." These files can be opened by WinZip
(for PC) and Stuffit Expander (for Mac).
To access your web hosting account via FTP, use any FTP application
to open ftp.yourdomain.com, then open the log directory, then
download the log file you're looking for. You can download the raw information for today,
yesterday, the current month, or last month.
There are general
instructions on using an FTP application on MindSpring's Help Desk:
Once you have logged in to your FTP Server, look for the four files
listed below in your site's log directory:
access.today
access.yesterday
access.current-month.gz
access.last-month.gz
- Once every day the contents of access.yesterday will be appended to
access.current-month.gz.
- Once every day the contents of access.yesterday will be replaced with the contents of
access.today.
- Monthly the contents of access.current-month.gz will be moved to
access.last-month.gz.
