If the url starts with one of the names of the local machine, its also local. 
Well, it might be unless that directory is again mounted over network and only 
published by a local webserver.

To the OP: Why does it matter where the file is? If you can access it for 
reading, you can read it. If you can access it for writing, you can write it. 
If you want to make your users happy, your app doesn't care whether its 
editing local files on disk or remote files via 
ftp(s)/sftp/webdav(s)/whatever...

Have fun,
