Overview

Unix systems have for a long time offered a way for users to store their user name and password for remote FTP servers, in the form of the .netrc file. The .netrc file is typically stored in a user's home directory. Curl supports it. Format example:

machine example.com
login some-user
password some-password

or

machine example.com login some-user password some-password

To configure curl to use it, pass -n or --netrc on command line.
