fttp grab from shell script

COuld you please explain your problem a bit more? Do you want to download a file?

It depends on what kind of username and password authentication.  Is it the kind where a window pops up in between page loads, asking for just the username and password?  Or are they entered on the page itself?

If it's the first, wget is an option.
     wget --http-user=username --http-passwd=password http://someserver.com/somefile.jpg

ya. i am trying to download files.  if i go by the browser, a pop window will prompt me to enter the username and password.  

what i need is a unix shell script to download the file thru http

ping

Could you use php?

take a look on google.com and search for ftp php, I've just done it and there's load of stuff available...

Thanks for returning and finalizing this.  However, you didn't add comments as to why the grade was less than an "A".  Experts here take great pride in delivering excellent solutions, and if they fall short really appreciate know about it.  If this was graded in error, also please let me know that since I can correct this.

The grades you assign remain the same point cost to you, however, the impact to the experts is directly related to the grade.  For example, expert points for this question were a "C" grade and therefore 100 X 2 for 200, a B would have been 300 and an A would have been 400 expert points.

I see more "C" grades in your history than any others, and am curious if you really feel that the experts at this site provides only that level of expertise and support. Many experts actually look at Asker history before deciding to step in and help.

More about this on the HELP DESK link to the left.

Thanks,
