Well, it's ugly.

from `man tree`:
       -H baseHREF
              Turn  on  HTML  output,  including HTTP references.
              Useful for ftp sites.  baseHREF gives the base  ftp
              location when using HTML output. That is, the local
              directory may be `/local/ftp/pub', but it  must  be
              referenced       as       `ftp://hostname.organiza-
              tion.domain/pub' (baseHREF should  be  `ftp://host-
              name.organization.domain/').  Hint:  don't use col-
              orization and/or ANSI lines with this  option,  and
              don't give more than one directory in the directory
              list.

I'm using tree v1.3.  I have the source tarball and could probably rustle
up the URL from which I retrieved it.

I call everyone sir, even my mother.
