man is "an interface to the on-line reference manuals", almost every terminal command has a man page that says what the command does & how to use it. I think Cygwin should have the man pages, and here's their FAQ for Where's the documentation?

Thanks a lot. I do not know why, but follow your advice, it finally works! One more question, you talk about reading a man page, what is the man page? Is it a tutorial or something else?

touch is a program, it changes the timestamp of a file (and creates a file if it doesn't exist). The tutorial link seems to have comments mixed in with commands, so it's not super clear what they want typed & what they're just talking about, but always look for & read a man page for new commands - sometimes there are info pages too that may be different. Be careful copying & pasting in commands you're unsure of, some can do strange or unwanted things (but NASA should be a safe enough site to not worry much)

Thank you for your help. It now requires username and password which should be the case. However, I am new to wget and I do no know how to Create a .netrc file and Create a cookie file as recommended by the first link I post in the question. Could you also take a look? I have edited the question. Thanks a lot.
