> wget http://admin1:91367cf0389eaf89669f74c9963c9fb3@54.171.140.1:8080/job/ANT-BUILD/build?token=iFBDOBhNhaxL4T9ass93HRXun2JF161Z

WORKING WITH NEW JENKINS
> wget –auth-no-challenge –user=admin –password=5ad344f0518640f62d0483084bb889bc http://13.126.143.49:8080/job/ANT//build?token=iFBDOBhNhaxL4T9ass93HRXun2JF161Z

If you are using wget 1.11 against Jenkins version 1.586 and above with the JENKINS-25169 fix, you might need to use the following options:
wget –auth-no-challenge –http-user=user –http-password=apiToken –secure-protocol=TLSv1 http://jenkins.yourcompany.com/job/your_job/build?token=TOKEN

If you are using wget 1.11, you might need to use the following options:
wget –auth-no-challenge –http-user=user –http-password=apiToken http://jenkins.yourcompany.com/job/your_job/build?token=TOKEN

With wget 1.10.x the following is enough (but will not work with 1.11.x) :
wget http://user:apiToken@jenkins.yourcompany.com/job/your_job/build?token=TOKEN

If you are a Windows User!
