What do you call a URL to a folder, and not a specific file?

What do you call a URL that doesn't reference a specific file?

For example:

http://www.example.com/images

http://www.example.com/articles/puppytraining

as opposed to

http://www.example.com/images/avatar.jpg

http://www.example.com/articles/puppytraining/index.php

I was thinking "Directory URL" or "Folder URL" but wanted to know if there was a naming convention.

As far as I know, an URL pointing to a folder is still called URL.
URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator and I believe a folder can be a resource.
