RE: [cobalt-users] Fetching web logs via ftp

["Paul Alcock" <webmgr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In order to allow download of your log file, I believe this would work fine.
Put a link to it that is accessible via the web.

eg. assuming you are talking about /home/sites/www.mysite.com/logs/access
then telnet in

then create a directory to keep a link to your log file.

mkdir /home/sites/www.mysite.com/web/logs

then make a link to the file

ln /home/sites/www.mysite.com/logs/access
/home/sites/www.mysite.com/web/logs/access.xxx

then you can browse to www.mysite.com/web/logs/access.xxx and download it.
