Can anyone recommend a Windows tool which you can download to read the tail of log files from an Apache Web Server over FTP?

This combination allows you to connect to your FTP server, open log files, and view their contents in real-time. Another option is WinSCP, which supports FTP and provides a built-in text editor for viewing log files directly. Both tools are user-friendly and widely used for managing and viewing remote files.
