I am new to R and have been spinning my wheels on the following.

*Issue:*  I have a membership to a website, and I want to grab data from
the website using download.file().

download.file(url, destfile, method, quiet = T, mode = "w", cacheOK = TRUE)
The R Documentation is helpful.  However, I have been unsuccessful in
figuring out how to access the website using my username and password.

Using an example, can someone show me how to embed the username and
password into download.file() so that I can grab the data?  Better yet, can
I tell R to always use the username and password when accessing the site?
Will I need information other than the url, username and password?

Thanks for your time and help!

MTR
