You can select the file name under cursor in netrw, copy it to the buffer with y and enter the following command: :echo @%."/".@".

Explanation: @{0-9a-z".=*+} executes the contents of the register {0-9a-z".=*+}. The % register is a name of the current file. For netrw, this is the name of the open directory. The " register contains the copied file name. The . operator means concatenation of the strings in the vimscript.
