any recomedations for a good log analysiser program?

Hi for one of my clients I analysis his log files and give him a report. The problem is that I don't control his server, its with another company, so I only have ftp access to go in and pull the log files down to my computer.

What happens is that after a week or two the log files start to overwrite themselves, so I have to go in once a week pull off the logfiles and put the in a unique directory on my machine. Once I have them all I then run them thru surfstats (www.surfstats.com)to generate the report.

All this is a bit ackward, espically if you forgot to pull the files off and miss some data :-(

What is was wondering is there any software that I can install on my linux server that allows me to put in the ftp details to the remote server, the software will then connect and pull the log files of automatically and generate the report for me??

Any open source or commercial products?

On a seperate note I recently got a new server with plesk running on it, is the built in stats package in plesk good enough or are there any better third party stats packages that I should consider? Whats the latest funky stats package ;-)

Thanks in advance.

Brian
