-echo set FILE_PATH=%1 >> %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 ''&amp; 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. +
- +
-&lt;code>echo '<?="https://www.example.com".str_replace("home/user/public_html", "~user", "'`pwd`'")."/!\n&quot;?>' | 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: +
- +
-<code>echo 'https://www.example.com'`pwd`'/!' | sed s#home/user/public_html#~user#</code>+
