I’d recommend using rsync for that type of thing… one would assume the logs are always in a static directory.
rsync -a user@server.com:/path/to/backups/* /local/folder/
The -a means to use the archive switch, which will tag the items as archived once they’ve been downloaded.

Hi The Geek,

Do you have a similar script to login to remote server, download httpd logs to local server to be passed thru a stats generator (like awstats or webalizer) ?
