save-url - creates link files *.url to web or ftp pages, to files, mail recipients etc. or exposes the links (provided by Starbuntu)

save-url <Remote Address>

If you want to create a link to a web page outside the web browser then respect the following instructions:

1. Mark the web address in the address field of the browser or anywhere else or just press Ctrl+Super+u within the browser (see nelow, works only in the preinstalled browsers).
   
   
2. Launch the Starbuntu program save-url, optionally with the hotkey Control+Super+u. This program will create the file <title of web address>.url in your home subdirectory Urls or it will expose the web address under its title. You can display the web page stored in the created file by calling either the Starbuntu program display-url [1|2] *.url or the Starbuntu program browser [1|2] *.url. "1" or "2" refers to your default or your second web browser.

By the way, with save-url you cannot only create links to HTTP pages (http://...) but also links to FTP or SFTP folders (ftp://...) resp. (sftp://...), SSH folders (ssh://...) or WebDAV folders (davs://...), to files (file://...), to mail recipients (mailto:...) etc. In this case you call the program with the respective parameter, which is located either after the program name or in the (primary) selection.
