An access log contains a record of all files that have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your site. The list is thorough, so if you have a page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log typically features the date, the Operating System, the Internet browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the most popular files on your site. The log, which is also commonly referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web stats which you usually get with a hosting account, not a substitute. An illustration why you could need this kind of a log is if you intend to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s functionality, but you don't want to use the standard graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web statistics.
