1) From the user.

2) I have a certain structure in the filesystem, and that structure is
   the same whether it is local or remote.  So for local stuff I
   prepend file://(path to stuff) and for remote stuff I prepend
   http://www.example.org/(path to stuff).

Not having to give much thought to whether a file is local or remote
is one of the great advantages of something like gnome-vfs.
