FTP & Basic

Some servers require a username/password in order to download files. You may setup a set of usernames and passwords here so you do not have to type them in each time you download from those servers.

Note: While the stored passwords are scrambled so they are not readable, they are not strongly encrypted. If you have concerns about security, you shouldn't enter any passwords here.

The top portion of this contains a report listing Server/Path, Username, Password with textboxes below so you may select one item to change, or add a new value.

• Click on an item in the report to change its value or delete it (the buttons will be "Set" and "Delete").
• Click a blank area in the report to add a new value (the buttons will be "Add" and disabled "Delete").

The Server/Path is used to tell GetRight where to use this username/password. Adding a path to the server name should be used to indicate that different directories (such as those pointing to different user accounts) or different servers need different usernames or passwords to log in. If a URL contains the text in the Server/Path entry, then GetRight will try the corresponding username and password. If it does not work, GetRight will then try the next one in the list until it gets to the bottom of the list.

The Server/Path is optional, and if the Server/Path box is left blank, an asterisk " * " will be shown in the report indicating that this username/password should be tried at any server. But it is not as efficient if GetRight has to try many username/passwords to find the one that works, so it is recommended that you do use this field where possible.

Web Page

Some web sites require you to fill in a web page form (which then normally sets a Cookie) so that the site knows you have logged in.

You can setup GetRight to know how to fill in these forms so it can automatically login and download from these sites. If you use this, be sure GetRight is set to directly accept and send Cookies on the Cookies configuration page.

Click the Download Form from URL button to get the web page and the form displayed so you can fill in the fields.

It does use the actual form element names from the HTML of the web page, so can be a little more cryptic than on the web site directly. But usually it is easy to figure out what they mean (passwd = Password, etc.)

Cookies

Cookies are small bits of information that can be sent by a web site to a web browser that is then sent back later when visiting other pages on the same site. This allows a web site to know you are logged in, etc. But cookies can also be used for other tracking you might not want (like tracking advertising).

Some web sites will require the correct cookies be sent (or accepted directly by GetRight and sent back) in order to download files. You can choose how cookies should be used below.

• Use Cookies from web browser: Some web sites require cookies in order to download files from their server. This option allows GetRight to read cookies saved by your web browser. GetRight will never save or change any cookie information in your web browser's cookies. (Most sites that require cookies to download require that you send a cookie value that was previously sent to your web browser.)
• Directly accept and send Cookies: GetRight can also directly accept cookies. This must be used if you are using the Web Page login options. You may use the other items to choose how and when GetRight should clear all its cookies.
