Research direction

Start by locating the standalone xftp CLI code that handles xftp send and prints the "Web link" section. Reproduce the upload with a test file, then verify that the generated link includes the /file path and opens the file download page rather than the server info page.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

  2. Observe the terminal output in the "Web link" section.

Expected behavior
The link is opens a webpage to download the file.
