Help: Must read .netrc for user name and password

Makes curl scan the \fI.netrc\fP (\fI_netrc\fP on Windows) file in the user's
|
|
home directory for login name and password. This is typically used for FTP on
|
|
Unix. If used with HTTP, curl will enable user authentication. See
|
|
\fInetrc(5)\fP \fIftp(1)\fP for details on the file format. Curl will not
|
|
complain if that file doesn't have the right permissions (it should not be
|
|
either world- or group-readable). The environment variable "HOME" is used to
|
|
find the home directory.
|
|
|
|
A quick and very simple example of how to setup a \fI.netrc\fP to allow curl
|
|
to FTP to the machine host.domain.com with user name \&'myself' and password
|
|
\&'secret' should look similar to:
|
|
|
|
.B "machine host.domain.com login myself password secret"
