I am trying to copy/move a file out of a KNIME temporary directory into a local directory on my PC. The Copy/Move Files node does not support the KNIME protocol, so I can’t reference the file using the relative path.
Is there any way to convert a KNIME Protocol relative path into an absolute path on my machine?
i.e. How can I convert: knime://knime.workflow/tmp/knime_tc_b41jearztl5u/filename.xlsx
I assume you used Create Temp Dir node? If you uncheck option Create temp directory in workflow folder you’ll get absolute path to your file (if that doesn’t lead to any unwanted behavior as mention in node description). And once you will be able to update to version 4.3. Transfer Files node is able to handle relative paths.
