- A local file.
- A transport URI with a valid protocol schema.
dest - (optional) The physical destination file. dest may be specified in three different ways:
- As a fully qualified storage file name (SURL). If this file already exists, the operation fails.
- Only the host of the SE where the file should be stored, i.e. the URI was constructed just by giving it a host string, which will be stored in the URI path. The storage location will be determined automatically depending on the user's VO and a suitable file name will be chosen.
- If no destination is specified at all (i.e. the argument is null, the `closest' SE is located and the file is stored as in the previous case.
logicalName - (optional) The logical name to be used in the catalog to find the file again. If this parameter is null, only the GUID is used.
protocol - (optional) The protocol to be used (can be null in which case the default protocol for the given SE is used)
