As I have multiple websites which I like to utilise AWStats for (there are still benefits to server based logging over Google Analytics, however I like to use them together) I scp all of the Apache/httpd log files onto my awstats server. Below is a little PHP page which parses the AWStats config directory to generate an index page to make it easier to identify and navigate to each statistics page.

$directory = '/etc/awstats/';
$scanned_directory = array_diff(scandir($directory), array('..', '.', 'awstats.localhost.localdomain.conf', 'awstats.model.conf')); #array of files to exclude
foreach($scanned_directory as $file){
if(substr($file, -4) != ".bak"){ #don't list .bak files
$fileshort = substr(substr($file, 8), 0, -5);#Remove the awstats. (8 chars) from the front and .conf (5) from the end of the string
echo ' <li><a href="/awstats/awstats.pl?config='.$fileshort.'">'.$fileshort.'</a></li>'."\n";
}
