Yes, except instead of "server address" I would say "filesystem path"
or something similar because a filesystem location is not ordinarily
referred to as an address.  Perhaps a glossary would help.  Something
like

* A URL is a web address that you can reach with your web browser.
* A filesystem path is a location on the server's filesystem.

See also Qdig's "URL And Filesystem Paths" page.
