I undertand that you are trying to download a folder/file from your “pythonAnywhere” server using MATLAB

To utilize a username and password in the `webread` function, you can pass the credentials by creating a `Credentials` object. Additionally, to specify the directory of the file, you can provide the file address as a parameter to the `webread` function.

Here is a sample code demonstrating the same:

% Example username and password

username = 'myUser'; 
password = 'myPassword'; 
% Manually set Authorization header field in weboptions 
options = weboptions('HeaderFields',{'Authorization',... 
    ['Basic ' matlab.net.base64encode([username ':' password])]}); 
% Make a request using these options 
url = "https://yoururlhere"; % Replace the destination file or directory address here 
webread(url, options)
