I don't think wget is the right tool for this; I prefer scp (tunnels 
through ssh) or rsync (ditto).

wget needs an ftp or http server at the other side, that has access to 
the logs. I'd not ordinarily allow that.

Another possibility is a cron job to mail the logs:
mail -s "Here's today's log" smith#example.com <logfile
