**Copying files**

This tool will allow you to upload a single file that is locally available.  There is no browse function,
however, so you will need to give the full path name.  If you have permission to read the file, Galaxy can import the file.

.. class:: warningmark

**Important Notes**

- The file path must be a file, not a directory
- You must give the fullpath to the file (/home/user/myfile.txt, not ./myfile.txt)
- You must have permission to read the file

-----

**Example**

- /home/user/bamfiles/abc123.bam
- /data/anotheruser/data/good_data/very_good_data.txt
