Long: netrc
Short: n
Help: Must read .netrc for user name and password
Category: curl
Example: --netrc $URL

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 will enable user authentication. See
*netrc(5)* and *ftp(1)* for details on the file format. Curl will not
complain if that file doesn't 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'
should look similar to:
.B "machine host.domain.com login myself password secret"
