Do I have to fill in full URLs for each link on my page?

OK so I'm making a website. The homepage is a HTML called "index" and it will be put into a folder, which will be put on a server. The homepage will have many links. They will link to other HTML pages in the same folder.

I am wondering, can I just write "Page1.html" as the link to have it go to Page1, or do I have to write the exact location of the server (full URL)

My thinking is that I can just write "Page1.html" since it is linking to the same folder. I tested this at home, NOT on server, and that worked. But will it be different on a server?

Take a look at the picture, will these links work?

    If they're all supposed to be in the same directory, it should work.
