Connect to files on HTTPS server (MFT)

[Anonymous]

A third party are supplying files to us via their Managed File Transfer solution, which allows connectivity via a web browser through HTTPS connection. In a browser, this connection prompts for a user name and password which I have and they work fine. 

In PBI Desktop, if I "get data" from web, go for a "Basic Connection" and I specify the https URL, the user name and the password, I get a message back saying the credentials are invalid. 

I dont know if this is a limitation of Power BI Desktop, or a limitation of the third party's server access... 

Any ideas what might be going wrong here, or how to validate further....?

Thanks

Gerard

Was anybody able to find solution to this? I'm trying to connect to a FTP folder, and I do have the service account name and password for the same. Trying to connect it to Power BI however wasn't able to do so. Please help
