Built-in I/O provider

Input/output provider are library modules that abstract I/O scheme in Ascp4 architecture. Ascp4 has the following built-in I/O provider:

  • File (as a simple path or file://path)

File provider

The local disk can be specified for ascp4 I/O by using a simple path or URL that starts with file. The following paths identify the same file (/test/ascp4.log) on the disk:

  • file:////test/ascp4.log
  • /test/ascp4.log
  • file://localhost:/test/ascp4.log

Similarly, the following URLs identify the same file (test/ascp4.log) on the disk:

  • file:///test/ascp4.log
  • test/ascp4.log
