A remote URL-style connection string consists of:

    1. a protocol name ( or wnet) followed by a colon and two slashes (“://”)

    2. an optional colon (“:”) plus port number or service name

    3. a slash (“”)

    Examples:

    • On Linux/Unix:

      1. inet://siamang/C:\Biology\Data\Primates\Apes\populations.fdb
      2. wnet://inca:fb_db/D:\Traffic\Roads.fdb
      3. wnet://127.0.0.1/Borrowers

    Since XNET is a purely local protocol, you can’t have remote connection strings starting with .
