Hi, I am following this solution (download file to local path - KNIME Analytics Platform - KNIME Community Forum) but it didn’t work well for me, instead just got these strange files. If someone advice me how to solve this problem, highly appreciated. Thnks.
Could you explain in more detail what you’re trying to do? Where are the files you’re trying to transfer located? Its hard to tell but it seems that you have accessed folders. Could you share your workflow?
Thank you very much for your quick reoly!
This is my workflow and the table. Now I found that the sorce of Row0 didn’t exist according to this table, but it actually exists when I click it directly on the original Exel list. I wonder why this workflow couldn’t find it.
When I click the Transfer files (Table) node, I can see this
Sharing the actual workflow rather than a screenshot would be much more helpful. Make sure to include the Excel file in a workflow data folder. If its stored locally on your computer I can’t access it.
Sorry, I cannot share the workflow file, instead I have copied dialogs from the nodes. I hope those are helpful.
Excel reader
Row filter
string to path
transfer files
Without being able to see all of the node outputs, its hard to tell what’s happening. What final output do you want and what are you getting? Please describe in detail.
Thank you for your advises. My goal is getting PDF files from the urls which have been listed on the column “best_oa_url” in the EXCEL file. However, I got only these strange files (download, index.php, and so on …) , couldn’t get any PDFs and found that all the “Source exists” were “false” on the table of the last node, “Transfer files (table)”, which I hope would be helpful this time. I would appreciate your kind feedback.
I’m sorry. Without being able to see your data I can’t help. Maybe someone else can.
Finally, I have learned how to remove personal information and how to share the workflow file here. I’m still a KNIME beginner, sorry for be late to upload it.
I tried to get 2 PDF files with this workflow, however, I couldn’t get any PDF, although I could get one of them by manually accessing. Later I would like to try to get as many as 100 PDFs.
If someone could kindly help me how to fix the workflow, I will highly appreciate it.
