Today I saw in a Java application several different approaches to load a file.

  • file:/
  • file://
  • file:///

What is the difference of these three URL beginnings and what is the preferred way of using them?

Thanks a lot
Stefan

    • file:/ is invalid as far as I know

    • file:// is the prefix for the file protocol

    • file:/// is the prefix for the file protocol, plus a leading / pointing to the root directory of the current drive (On Windows) or the overall root directory (On Linux / Unix).
