I am very new to R and have been struggling trying to read a basic ".csv" file from a password protected site with the following code:
myURL ="http://www.frontierweather.com/degreedays/L15N15PowerRegionAverages_10weeks.txt"; test2=read.table(url(myURL),header=TRUE,sep=",") A 'data.frame' is returned into the workspace, however it is not the data contained in the ".csv" file. I think this occurs because the website where I am trying to retrieve the data is password protected. Is there a way to specify the username and password? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
