ok... so first off thanks to everyone who has me thus far.... one last question... i hope.... i have found that i am being probed constanly by ftp access which is slowing the response time on my server. i have it switched off but would like to activate it. my problem is is there logging for this, so i can black list these ips?
so i found the info i was lookin for... but now i have another question, how do i blacklist someone? so i can block access to my server...

ok, so far i have checked my stats via webalizer and have found that my isp has been checking my sever. my question is there a way to verify they are the one creating havoc on my server? and if so can i check what port they are accessing? my router also presents little in the way of logs. so this will be a more sever based solution.
You have a mess in concepts... Webalizer just analize your apache (http) log file. At least now we know why you put "webalizer stats" as a title..
