Is it possible to download images which are stored on the same device (accessible throught the path 'file:///'?

I want to download an image present on my device, which is accessible through the path: 'file:///some_url.jpg'. I want to implement this on android. Not able to do this. So I wanted to know if it is possible to download an image path starting with 'file:///' or does the url have to begin 'https:'
