An access log contains a record of all files which have been requested by the visitors while browsing your site. The list is comprehensive, so in case you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not just the page. An access log usually features the date, the OS, the browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most popular files on your site. The log, which is also often named "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics that you usually get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An illustration why you may require this sort of a log is if you would like to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s functionality, but you do not want to use the regular graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website statistics.
