Well, I can't say it's the best solution, but it's working for me:

on copyFile pFile1,pFile2
  delete file pFile2
  switch the platform
  case "win32"
    revCopyFile pFile1,pFile2
    if the result is not empty then answer("revCopyFile failed")
    break
  case "MacOS"
    put "binFile:" & pFile1 into tFile1
    put "binFile:" & pFile2 into tFile2
    put URL tFile1 into URL tFile2
    if the result is not empty then answer("put URL failed")
    break
  default
    answer("platform" && the platform && "needs more coding")
  end switch
end copyFile

Thanks to the gurus who guided me when I had the same problem.
