Thanks. It worked when I set the R working directory to the folder of the dataset I needed to upload.
One additional question: when I replace a file that previously existed in the WS (using overwrite<-T ), the public URL for this file changes. Is there a way to keep the same URL?

Paul, what file did you replace? So, I can check why the public URL has been changed.

The file is /Home/paultaconet/Workspace/Tuna_Atlas/R_scripts/Transform/IOTC/IOTC_functions.R

However, my question is more generic: let's say I have a file on the WS. I upload it in R, modify it, and the load it back in the WS. At that point, I have noted that the public URL changes; however, I would like that it remains the same as before. Is this operation possible?

If you overwrite a file, the public link does not change.
I'm checking the logs: the file "/Home/paultaconet/Workspace/Tuna_Atlas/R_scripts/Transform/IOTC/IOTC_functions.R" was created, removed and created again. That's why the public link has been changed.
Maybe the function "overwrite<-T" removes the file if it already exists.

Actually yes, the function "overwrite<-T" removes the file. But with "overwrite<-F" I get an error message saying that the file is already present in the WS. So I guess from R it is not possible to overwrite a file without removing it first. @gianpaolo.coro@isti.cnr.it I think it would be nice to add this option!

That's because the Workspace application did not support a real overwrite up to some weeks ago. Now that the remote files are versioned we can change it.

Ok, thanks. It would be very useful indeed!
