1 Long: netrc 2 Short: n 3 Help: Must read .netrc for user name and password 4 --- 5 Makes curl scan the \fI.netrc\fP (\fI_netrc\fP on Windows) file in the user's 6 home directory for login name and password. This is typically used for FTP on 7 Unix. If used with HTTP, curl will enable user authentication. See 8 \fInetrc(5)\fP \fIftp(1)\fP for details on the file format. Curl will not 9 complain if that file doesn't have the right permissions (it should not be 10 either world- or group-readable). The environment variable "HOME" is used to 11 find the home directory. 12 13 A quick and very simple example of how to setup a \fI.netrc\fP to allow curl 14 to FTP to the machine host.domain.com with user name \&'myself' and password 15 \&'secret' should look similar to: 16 17 .B "machine host.domain.com login myself password secret" 18
