• gettreepublink - link to a tree
• getcollectionpublink - link to a collection

If the link is to a folder also expects fileid.

Optional parameters

• forcedownload
• contenttype
• skipfilename
• maxspeed

work exaclty as explained in getfilelink.

This call is intentionally split from showpublink.

Getting download links for files you do not intend to download is considered bad behaviour.
