keyword, the router looks for a file in the current directory.
Table 1-4 lists URL prefix keywords for local writable storage file systems. Table 1-5 lists the URL
prefix keywords for remote file systems. For remote file systems, if it is not otherwise specified, the path
is the default for the user on the remote server.
