If we exclude the FTP requirement on the client, there are several ways to
do what you want. I think the most common is to move the log files to a
folder accessible from Internet on the webserver (which can be password
protected). This can be done with a simple command script (or vbs if you
prever that).
If you also want to zip the logfiles, there are products that can do that.
For example:
http://www.iislogs.com
http://www.bbpsoftware.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=78
But i don't think that any of these encrypts and password protects the
files. If you need that high security, you probably need to implement your
own software.
Another way is to email the logfiles to your email (i do that for some
firewall logs).
