DbImportFile

Imports a file to a DigaSystem content table.

This is similiar to dragging and dropping a media file onto ContentManager. Default metadata is derived from the filename and extension. Optionally you can specify additional metadata.

DPE 2.x also supports specifying a FTP path (but you have to use CopyMethod=TransferFileJob)
