Hello folks...!! A new guy has just signed in to this wonderful world.

Hi Kalan,

Here is an attempt to answer your question and a bid to keep it some what generic.

URI stands for Uniform Resource Identifier or formerly, Universal Resource Identifier AND URL stands for Universal Resource Locator. Often we use these terms interchangably, which is not entirely correct. A URL is a subset of the URI popular protocols. These are protocols (http://, ftp://, mailto:). Therefore all URLs are URIs. The term URL is deprecated and the more correct term URI is used in technical documentation. All URIs are means to access a resource on the Internet and are a a technical short hand used to link to the resource. URIs always designate a method to access the resource and designate the specific resource to be accessed.

A URL is a type of URI that identifies a resource via a representation of its primary access mechanism (e.g., its network "location"), rather than by some other attributes it may have. You can say "http:" is a URI scheme. An http URI is a URL. The phrase "URL scheme" is now used infrequently, usually to refer to some subclass of URI schemes.

Local host is a host on the network which you are currently using. (Wondering if i can put it in a better way :-) )

A remote host is any host or system on a network (LAN/ Internet) other than the local host that you gotta connect to remotely.

Hope it helps :)

Cheers!!
Aza.
