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;
