some more password blurb

        curl -u name:passwd ftp://machine.domain:port/full/path/to/file

 FTPS

   It is just like for FTP, but you may also want to specify and use

   SSL-specific options for certificates etc.

 HTTP

   The HTTP URL doesn't support user and password in the URL string. Curl

        curl -u name:passwd http://machine.domain/full/path/to/file

   HTTP offers many different methods of authentication and curl supports

   several: Basic, Digest, NTLM and Negotiate. Without telling which method to

   use, curl defaults to Basic. You can also ask curl to pick the most secure

   ones out of the ones that the server accepts for the given URL, by using

   --anyauth.

   NOTE! Since HTTP URLs don't support user and password, you can't use that

   style when using Curl via a proxy. You _must_ use the -u style fetch

   during such circumstances.
