A Storage URL is a specification of the physical location of a file, e.g.,
srm://se2-gla.scotgrid.ac.uk:8443/pnfs/scotgrid.ac.uk/data/dteam/users/graeme/file1
In the grid view of data management, users would not normally interact with Storage URLs, but with a Logical File Name. The File Catalog maps between these two entities.
SURLs can also be called physical file names or Site URLs.
Types of SURL URLs
- SURLs for older gridftp (a.k.a. 'classic') storage elements began sfn://.
- SURLs for newer SRM capable storage elements begin srm://.
