The URL weblink generator

Hello there,

i found one feature that will be great with WinSCP: the URL weblink generator.

I work with online contents (for example music files) and i need to generate an URL weblink for each file. I do it manually or i can use this website https://www.urlencoder.org for example. But it will be extremely useful to have this function in WinSCP.

What do you think about this, please?

See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/extension_generate_http_url

Thanks for the link. But how do i create the weblink for concrete file on the server? When i right-click on the file, there is no option such as 'create the URL weblink' in the context menu. So how does it work, please?

Anyway, the right-click context menu option will be great for this feature (incl. for multiple selected files).

Go to File Custom Commands > Generate HTTP URL.

But first, you need to configure the extension in Preferences.

I am kind of lost in this matter how to install the HTTP URL Extension in WinSCP and make it workable. How do i add the command "Generate HTTP URL" in Preferences/Commands? It is not clear to me. And when it is done how do i install "Generate HTTP URL" extension in WinSCP? I guess i have to copy this code somewhere - https://winscp.net/eng/docs/extension_generate_http_url.

I am sorry for these questions, but i am not so skilled in such operations with WinSCP. This is something new for me. Can you help me with some step by step manual?

Thanks!

You do not have to install it, it's installed by default:

This is an official WinSCP extension and is distributed in WinSCP installer.

If you do not have it for whatever reason, check the documentation:
