Hello,

I am currently writing some code in Matlab to process data from a private server (with private I mean that every time I login, it asks me for the password). To do so, I have been downloading the data everyday into .csv files.

The data on the server is updated every minute.

Is there a way to connect Matlab to the private server, give Matlab the power to remember the password (or override it) and, when the code runs, to collect all updated data?

Thank you very much.

Sidenote: I am at a pretty basic level of Matlab.

How easy this is to do is going to depend on the server (how it is implemented). You would use one of webread, webwrite or websave.

Assuming your server is fully REST compatible, and it uses basic or digest authentication, accessing your data may be as easy as:

url = 'https://yourprivateserver/somelocation/somefile.csv';
username = 'yourusername';
password = 'secret';   %note that if write it in an m file, anybody who has access to the m file can read your password
data = webread(url, weboptions('Username', username, 'Password', password));

Hi, thank you for both your answers. I tried what you recommended, but got these errors, which are the same errors I got trying what the other thread recommended.

I'll attach the error in the following lines, only modifying the password for mypassword.

>> Untitled
Error using weboptions
'db_ciment' is not a recognized parameter. For a list of valid name-value pair arguments, see the
documentation for weboptions.
Error in weboptions>parseInputs (line 529)
p.parse(args{:});
Error in weboptions (line 301)
                inputs = parseInputs(options, varargin);
Error in Untitled (line 4)
data = webread(url, weboptions('db_ciment', username, 'mypassword', password));

I see! Thank you.

I now only obtain one error, which seems to be due to a 'unexpected expression' of the password. Do you know if it is problematic for the password to contain numbers, letters and caps?
