Access logs are files that are created by a web server whenever a page from a site is requested. Most follow a common format that lists the date and time of the request, who made the request, which page was requested, and the result of the request (usually "OK" or "File not found"). Some servers also add another very useful piece of information - the referring page: that is, which page the user "came from". A lot of ISPs will let their users look at the access logs. These logs are not only a useful tool for web site statistics and maintenance, but in tracking spambots as well. See the section on detecting spambots for more.
Access Logs will tell you who, when, and where people visited your world wide web and FTP sites.
