I'm trying to do an off-line copy a website that requires login with HTTrack. The question, although, it is quite more generic. Following this instructions http://www.httrack.com/html/faq.html#QM6 I understood that I must use the following structure to be logged-in:

https://username:password@www.website.com

The problem I'm facing is probably very simple for someone with html expertise.

How can I do to put a username that is actually an email address inside https://username:password@ chain? Because as it is, when I put my username, the code is "cut" by the "@" of the email, instead of considering the whole stuff.

Thanks in advance!

(this is oriented to build a bash script, so the GUI solutions won't make it)

  • Have you tried the same command by only removing www.??

  • just tried, not working... I think it doesn't take "user@mail.com:password" as username and password... but only "user" and then search for the webaddress.

    Try using %40 or @ in place of @ - (like %20 means the 'Space' character)

  • sadly didn't worked. I was hoping that @wilf comment solve it, but no. @Hash, I already have a double quote because of httrack syntax: httrack "user@mail.com:password@http://www.website.com" I tried with single-double quotes, and double-double quotes without success.

I think you should click on "Add URL" button according to screenshot given below. enter image description here

I successfully copied the whole site by providing email and password using this way. I hope this will help you too :)
