| - | <code>!`cmd.exe /c echo @echo off > %TEMP%\url.bat & | + | |

| - | echo echo https://www.example.com%FILE_PATH:home/user/public_html=~user% >> %TEMP%\url.bat` | + | |
| - | cmd.exe /c %TEMP%\url.bat !/! & pause</code> | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Hints: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | * Note that the above should be entered as one line! | + | |
| - | * Check custom command options //Local command// and //Use remote files//. | + | |
| - | * If you want to copy the %%URL%% to clipboard instead of displaying it, replace the trailing ''& pause'' with ''| clip''. | + | |
| - | ··* For your particular use, just replace ''%%https://www.example.com%%'' with right %%URL%% prefix, ''home/user/public_html'' with right path prefix and ''~user'' with right %%URL%% replacement (it can even be empty in some cases). | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==== Using Remote PHP Code ==== | + | |
| - | Example shows how to launch simple PHP script that maps file path to URL. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | <code>echo '<?="https://www.example.com".str_replace("home/user/public_html", "~user", "'`pwd`'")."/!\n"?>' | php -q</code>; | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Hints: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | * Note that the above should be entered as one line! | + | |
| - | * Do not forget to check custom command option //Show results in terminal// or //Copy results to clipboard//, otherwise you will not get the results. You may also want to use the command for directories, check //Apply to directories// too. | + | |
| - | * For your particular use, just replace ''%%https://www.example.com%%'' with right URL prefix, ''home/user/public_html'' with right path prefix and ''~user'' with right %%URL%% replacement (it can even be empty in some cases). | + | |
| - | * If you do mapping like above, i.e. for server containing multiple user's homepages, you can make it universal by replacing ''user'' with ''%%'`whoami`'%%''. | + | |

| - | ==== Using Remote Shell Code ==== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Another example using shell commands only, in case PHP is not available: | + | |
