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 enables user authentication. See *netrc(5)* and
|
||
|
|
*ftp(1)* for details on the file format. Curl does not complain if that file
|
||
|
|
does not 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 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'
|
||
|
|
could look similar to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
machine host.domain.com
|
||
|
|
login myself
|
||
|
|
password secret
