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.
