[weimath]

Hi,

I would like to pass follow variables to External SSH tool node for dynamic remote! command. Is it possible?

Hi there!

Welcome to KNIME Community Forum!

Sure it is possible. You have to do it in a Flow Variables tab. Info: sometimes to be able to chose a flow variable on this tab you will have to add a dummy value for it first.

Additionally here is a tutorial on flow variables and their usage:

Thanks Ivan. I guess I need to restate my question. Sorry the masked fields in my screen shot is a bit misleading.

My question is about using variable in the remote command. I have a string flow variable and I’d like to pass it to External SSH Tool node and use it as an argument of the remote command. Is there any example?

The flow variable screen he pointed you towards has a ‘remote command’ flow variable.

Hi,

I get it now. You can’t. But what you can do is to write a whole command in String Manipulation node (Variable) with your existing flow variable as argument

Here is example:
