Download Restricted .zip file with cURL

[MatthewJ]

Hi all,

 

I am trying to download a .zip file that is in a protected folder on an external server.

 

If I put the URL directly to the .zip in the address bar and hit go, I am presented a basic http authentication popup for username and password (which I obv have).

 

Could someone point me in the right direction on this one? I have tested and can download .zip files that are not protected with no problem, I guess I just need to figure out how to authenticate, then save the file in one process.

 

Thanks for any and all help,

 

Matt
