Hi Ricardo and everybody
In this old post to rhelp you say that the problem was solved but
not what
the sollution was. I have the same problem now. I want to read a
Excel file
from a google site that has restricted access so I need to give a
username
and password at some point. I could not find an example or a help
file that
shows how this can be done. You post is one of few but it does not
contain
the answer
wget is not in R.

Hi,
Following an example I've received from Phil Spector, I am trying
to get a
remote file by using download file.
The concerned remote server doesn't username and password passed
with the
URL, thus this line fails...
download.file('
http://username:passw...@xepecnet.environmentalchange.net/xwiki/bin/view/ICT/RGraphicSample02
','RG02',method='wget')
I can get a free access file without any problem
download.file('
http://xepecnet.environmentalchange.net/xwiki/bin/view/ICT/RGraphicSample01?xpage=plain
','RG01',method='wget')
But, of course, access to a protected one fails...
download.file('
http://xepecnet.environmentalchange.net/xwiki/bin/view/ICT/RGraphicSample02?xpage=plain
','RG02',method='wget')
*Wget does the trick *when executed from the comman line with the
following parameters...
wget --http-user=DummyDummy --http-password=dummy --auth-no-
challenge
http://xepecnet.environmentalchange.net/xwiki/bin/view/ICT/RGraphicSample02?xpage=plain
Please, is it possible to pass these parameters to the method wget
in
download.file?
Thank you for your help,
Ricardo
