Thanks for the help @Crona688 It works like a charm.
It fulfills my problem to an extent.

I would me more happy if I can pull the server.log file to my local Windows directory and it should be updating continously as it do on the server. Can you tell if there's any way to sync/download the file to local drive while it is continoulsy updated on the server path.

Thanks for the help always !
