# filePathURL

A file path URL that points to the same resource as the URL object. (read-only)

## Declaration

```swift
var filePathURL: URL? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If the receiver is a file reference URL, this property contains a copy of the URL converted to a file path URL. If the receiver’s URL is a file path URL, this property contains the original URL. If the original URL is not a file URL, or if the resource is not reachable or no longer exists, this property contains nil.
