If you provide a *valid* URL that can reach your remote file it will
work. Teiid does not care about what protocol you are using. 
- Is the file on a remote server can be reached by "file://" protocol?
- is it on shared drive and you have the path?
- To use "http:" is the file have to be exposed though a web server

any of above will work, you would need that valid URL to the file.

Thanks very much you for your interest in Teiid. Let us know how we can
help.
