Hi,

I am aware that this question might be a basic one.
I did browse the help and archives but I still haven't understood
how to do the following:

I run R locally and would like to read in data from a server
for which there is a username and password. That is,
how do I open a connection to a server with a password?

You might consider offering more specifics of your OS, whatever it might be, and your network, whatever it might be. How would you do it outside of R on whatever system you might be using?
Then consider reading:

?system

I used "password server" on the Baron supplied search facility with different defaults than you would get with RSiyeSearch:
