How can I get the public URL of a file via a command? I need to do this within a Lua script, so Python or whatever else API's are offered aren't any good.

To get a public URL for a file via the commandline, you do
u1sdtool --publish-file=filename
if the file is already published, it will return the existing URL; otherwise, it will publish the file and return the newly created URL.

Thank you... can you help perfect it? I can't quite figure it out, trying it on an already published file (while U1 is disconnected though... still uploading my music collection): paste.pocoo.org/show/44KX0W3KliP9tZikBtku Apr 9, 2011 at 11:31

add a backslash before the space in "Ubuntu One", or put quotes around the whole path.– ChipacaApr 10, 2011 at 9:13
