Is it possible to wget using credentials?

Suppose I want to wget s file from a site but that site requires me to login first to download file. So is it possible to login on that server/site using SSH and wgeting that file from that logged user account? Or is it insane?

I don't believe it is possible/easy to use wget to do what you ask. I imagine what you're looking for Secure Copy (SCP). You can use SCP as follows:

scp user@host:/path/to/file /destination/file.
