  var path = @&quot;[local path]&quot;;
  
  
  using (var client = new System.Net.Http.HttpClient())
  {

      credentials = Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(credentials));
      client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue(&quot;Basic&quot;, credentials);
