File Names in UNIX (Magic xpa 3.x)

In Windows platforms, files can be referred to by either a URL or by file name, relatively or by full path/URL.

In non-Windows platforms, such as UNIX platforms, files can be referred to by a full URL only. Any reference to a file name with a slash (/) is considered to be a path name, either full or relative.

Examples:

/etc/home1/a.jpg (full path)

http://myserver/myalias/a.jpg (full URL)

myalias/a.jpg – is considered to be a relative path name, not a relative URL.
