I searched google and the bug and list archives for coreutils but couldn't find any mention of support for local or non-local file URIs,
file:///foo/bar file://remote.baz/foo/bar has there ever been any discussion of support for file URIs in coreutils? I often copy files into the clipboard (using fedora 25 with gnome shell 3.22.3) and then have to manually remove the file URI at the command line to remove the file:/// part. $ cp file:///data/photos/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20170613_074704.jpg butterfly.jpg cp: cannot stat 'file://file:///data/photos/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20170613_074704.jpg': No such file or directory $ I can understand why non-local files might not be supported but thought that this might not be a terribly difficult representation to support even if it just strips off the URI (s/^file:/\/\/\/\//), at least on POSIX systems. the RFC is here, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8089 -- :wq
