Question

Im using php, using curl Im accessing a directory on a server via http using httpauth. I pass it a username and password and it seems to work, but once I login how do I get the current directory and then proceed to download the files in that directory? Im using this curl code to authenticate:

    $ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch);

Just resend the credentials for any future requests. HTTP authentication doesn’t keep track of logins; the client simply needs to resend the username / password pair for each request.
