Description:

Enables server-side mapping of a single file to multiple virtual names without duplicating or renaming the file on the server. Using a custom path '/alias/' to differentiate between the real and virtual parts of a URL, this plugin enhances the flexibility of file URL naming, allowing users to access and download files with any custom name while serving from the original source.

Core Functionality:

• Single Source, Multiple Names: Host a file once on your server, irrespective of its name – whether it's user-friendly or a unique identifier like dd0588c172986c32636ffdd8cc690de7b41bf253.pdf. This plugin allows users to virtually access and download that file with any custom name they prefer.

• Dynamic Virtual Naming: By using a specified keyword (e.g., "alias"), users can create virtual paths to the original file. For instance, accessing the URL https://yourwebsite.com/reports/2023/10/dd0588c172986c32636ffdd8cc690de7b41bf253.pdf/alias/test.pdf will serve the contents of the original https://yourwebsite.com/reports/2023/10/dd0588c172986c32636ffdd8cc690de7b41bf253.pdf file but under the new virtual name test.pdf.

• Efficient File Delivery: There are no redirections or complex server rerouting involved. The plugin efficiently maps the virtual name to the original file, ensuring seamless file delivery.

Use Cases:

• Custom File Naming for Different Audiences: Share the same file with different groups under different names without having to duplicate the file on the server.

• SEO and Marketing Considerations: Serve the file under different virtual names for SEO or marketing campaigns while maintaining a single source of truth on the server.

• Temporary Naming: For temporary events or promotions, give a file a custom virtual name without altering its original path or name.
