Help: Must read .netrc for user name and password

Makes curl scan the *.netrc* (*_netrc* 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
|
|
*netrc(5)* and *ftp(1)* for details on the file format. Curl will not
|
|
complain if that file doesn't have the right permissions (it should be
|
|
neither world- nor group-readable). The environment variable "HOME" is used
|
|
to find the home directory.

|
A quick and very simple example of how to setup a *.netrc* 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"
