Download logs via FTP

[joelmoss]

How can I download the access_logs file via FTP? It keeps telling me access is denied. Can anyone tell me what permssions I must set so I can access it?

I've got everything works fine. FTP user should have a read permissions to statistics directory and it's content. May be you do some wrong?
May be there are some permissions are corrupted. Plesk reconfigurator helps to repair them.

yes, i can access the statistics/logs directory, but cannot download any of the files in it. Can you actually download any of the log files in the statistics/logs directory?
