I would like to download climate data files from PCMDI website using R. I tried this line below and I was not able to get the file mainly due to user name and password requirements. I am looking for help for setting up the user and password within R (or somewhere). I have read the FAQ but unfortunately I am a newbie on R and couldnt figure out how to do it. Many thanks in advance
