The file: URL is a URL schema specified in RFC 1630 and RFC 1738, typically used to retrieve files from within one's own computer. A file: URL takes the form of file://''host''/''path'' where ''host'' is the fully qualified domain name of the system on which the ''path'' is accessible, and ''path'' is a hierarchical directory path of the form ''directory''/''directory''/.../''name''. If ''host'' is omitted, it is taken to be "localhost". file: URLs are rarely used in Web pages on the Internet, since they make the assumption that such a file exists on the client's computer. The ''host'' specifier can be used to retrieve a file from an external source, although no specific file-retrieval protocol is specified; or to inform the user that no mechanism to access that machine is available. |
