WGET command using username and password

To retrieve files from a web server using wget command

example:

$ wget –user=<username> –password=<password> <web server IP or name>

Tip to Check if anti-virus software is working.

To test if your anti-virus is working; create a new text file using notepad for example and paste the following line:

X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

Save the file as ‘eicar.com’; your anti-virus should alert you as virus infection if its working as it should.

The file itself is very safe and is just a standard way to test anti-virus. EICAR stands for ‘European Institute for Computer Anti-virus research’. If your anti-virus software did not alert you then it should at least prevent you from running the file.
