wget?

Sorry to be ignorant, but how can I get the site if it requires a username and password to access? I read the wget documentation, but am unclear about this one. Thanks in advance.

Matters what scheme is in use, but see two things in the man pages.

  --user / --password

And

  --load-cookies

The latter allows you to log in via web browser and then let wget take over.
