Make a directory to house your shortened URLs.

$ ssh example.com mkdir public_html/u

On demand, create a subdirectory for the shortened URL you want to create.

$ ssh example.com mkdir public_html/u/hpr

Create an HTTP redirect in an index.html file.

$ ssh example.com echo ""Shortened URL"" > www/u/hpr/index.html

Your shortened URL is example.com/u/hpr
