Just as a followup, wget was actually doing exactly what it should with the cookies, which was nice. The problem turned out to be that the site was very picky about what it saw in the User-Agent field. Gar. So this is what worked: wget --cookies=on --http-user=user --http-passwd=passwd \ --user-agent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98)" \ https://www.site.com/blah/login.asp \ https://www.site.com/blah/filetoget.txt Blah. Anyway, thanks for listening. -CJ -- WOW: Nyctitropic | "Let us rain some DOOM upon the filthy heads apocalyptech.com/wow | of our DOOMED enemies!" [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - Zim
