I need to download a file from a secure nexus repository via passing, user and password with java.

URL website = new URL("http://user:password@nexus-repository/code/data/text.txt")
FileUtils.copyURLToFile(website, new File(directory), 10000, 10000);

I've tried aloft code but its downloading any random file not the actual file with actual content.

What did you mean **random file**? Did you get different files after visiting the URL every time? – LHCHIN Nov 06 '19 at 06:57
It seems that your request has been redirected. Please see this: [302 Found Document has Moved error](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6530006/302-found-document-has-moved-error). – LHCHIN Nov 06 '19 at 07:08
it returns me file with some html content. – Satyajeet Nov 06 '19 at 07:09
302 Found Found – Satyajeet Nov 06 '19 at 07:09
File is there as i can see via logged in from browser. – Satyajeet Nov 06 '19 at 07:10
Yes, because your browser handled it for you but your code not. Please see this: [How does HTTP 302 work?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3356838/how-does-http-302-work). – LHCHIN Nov 06 '19 at 07:13
Thank you. is there any way so i can handle in java code. – Satyajeet Nov 06 '19 at 07:20
Try using `https` in your URL to see if it works. – LHCHIN Nov 06 '19 at 07:23
its now working with https as well. – Satyajeet Nov 06 '19 at 07:29
