You could install cygwin sshd on the windows box and scp the
files there in a cron job - or to an intermediate box in
the right place with respect to your firewalls. The part
no one has mentioned yet is that these files will be growing
unless you coordinate the logrotate step with the transfer,
or perhaps more cleanly, have apache pipe the logs to it's
'rotatelogs' helper that creates new timestamped files
at specified intervals. You can run rsync against these
to pick up whatever is new.
