- Long: netrc
- Short: n
- Help: Must read .netrc for user name and password
- ---
- Makes curl scan the \fI.netrc\fP (\fI_netrc\fP 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
- \fInetrc(5)\fP \fIftp(1)\fP for details on the file format. Curl will not
- complain if that file doesn't have the right permissions (it should not be
- either world- or group-readable). The environment variable "HOME" is used to
- find the home directory.
- A quick and very simple example of how to setup a \fI.netrc\fP 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"
