virtual path - Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (26 May 2007) :

  virtual path
  
     <networking> The location of a file or directory on a
     particular server, as seen by a remote client accessing it
     via World-Wide Web (or similar distributed document
     service).
  
     A virtual path provides access to files outside the default
     directory and subdirectories.  It appears in the form
     ".../~name/..." where "~name" is replaced with actual path
     configured by the administrator.  An access control list can
     be associated with a virtual path.
