Password-protected Sites

Some servers restrict access to certain content, requiring a user to authenticate with a valid user name and password.

Secure sites usually provide a login page that requires the user to enter a user name and password into a form. To download files from this type of site, log into the website using the SiteSucker browser.

In other cases, the server will ask for the user's credentials when the client sends a request. If the user name and password for the site are found in the Keychain, SiteSucker will respond with these credentials. Otherwise, SiteSucker will display a login dialog that you can use to enter your user name and password.

If you turn on the Suppress Login Dialog setting under the General tab in the download settings, SiteSucker will not display the login dialog when credentials are requested, and password-protected content will be skipped unless the proper credentials are found in the Keychain.
