Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator()
// {
// protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication(){
// return new PasswordAuthentication("username","password".toCha rArray());
// }});


but server is not autheticate these

Can you show what you've done in bit of details? What you mean by authenticating in server?

i want to download a private file from server to my mobile by using android

bt becz its an private file so it requires authentication of the client

i am passing above inputs but server isnt authenticating the user request

regards
aarif

Ok then, what the server returns to you?
