I am trying to download a file with cURL from a password protected directory on my site. It is not working. Instead of
the downloading
the requested file, it downloads a HTML file that says, "Authentication Required!" I'm not sure what
the problem is.
I've tried both of these (with
the same result).
The username and password are correct (and if
the link below is used
in a web browser,
the file downloads successfully).
1)
The username and password are included as part of
the URL.
curl https://username:
[email protected]/auth/file.dmg --O /file.dmg;
2)
The username and password are included as an option.
curl -u username:wordpass.1 https://www.example.com/auth/file.dmg --O /file.dmg;
