MiniURLs allow you to make abbreviated URLs that will automatically log a user in and put them into a specific folder. This can be useful to get a shorter URL, or to not give out a password.

MiniURL's can also be directed directly to a file using a wild card character. The miniURL then works to authenticate the user, then redirects them to the remaining part of the URL.

If the miniURL key ends with a * it will do this.

Example:

miniURL key is "getFiles*".

Then these would work:

http://domain.com/getFiles/file.txt http://domain.com/getFiles/folder.zip

The folder.zip is where the folder's name has ".zip" appended to it, and CrushFTP will auto zip the folder and send it to the user.
