Nah, this protocol is given the full path of all the batch queued files you
send it, like dsz or sexyz would. It just takes those paths (and files) and
displays them as URLs for the user to copy/paste/click on. 

Where the files are in relation is the other portion. This program can
copy/upload/(do nothing) the requested files so they are servable via another
server like Apache, Lighttpd, Ngnix, or the HTTP/FTP server built into
Syncronet. So the user can download over HTTP/FTP instead of x/y/zmodem.

Now if you have to use the 'url rewrite' feature, this is more complicated as
yes, your paths would need to match the directory structure of the running
http/ftp server. In that case, I would use the copy feature instead, and then
have a script run nightly that removes the copies if the file date is older
then say three days.

My setup takes the selected files and uploads them to my public web server, and
presents the URL of that uploaded file to the end user. Using SyncTERM they can
copy/paste the URL or using fTelnet they can just click the url and it will
start the download.
