I need a program that will automatically collect and save logfiles from various sites that I host. The files are dropped from the server every 7 days or so and I have too many sites to keep collecting the files from.
So I am after a program that will collect the logfiles from the servers and save them to my local pc.
Specification:
The program should be capable of having unlimited new domains added. All of my domains are hosted with fasthosts and follow the same convention:
[ftp.*[login to view URL]*/logfiles/w*/ex*.log][1]
The destination folder on my local pc should be configurable by domain.
All of the sites will have distinct usernames and passwords
Date and time of collection should be configurable at a top level (e.g. every sunday from 3am GMT) although I anticipate only one batch collection: i.e. all sites collected in one instance rather than on different days.
Assume always on broadband connection.
Log files on the PC should be overwritten if the version on the server is newer
## Deliverables
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) All IP ownership and copyright etc in this software to vest with me on project completion.
## Platform
Windows XP (ought to be vista compatible but I don't plan to use it anytime soon!). Current FTP package is CoreFTP.
