Inconsistent UI between List Files and List Remote Files

KNIME Analytics Platform
1

Hi all,

is there a reason why the List Remote Files node doesn't accept a URL as input for the directory field? The List Files node accepts both URLs and file paths, so I would have expected the same for the Remote version, but it creates an empty table when I provide a URL via a flow variable.

The reason I wanted to use List Remote Files is because of the URI output possibilities.

Also, is the "include sub folders" option of List Files equivalent to "Recursive" of List Remote Files? If yes, I would suggest a more consistent naming.

Yes this is already on our development roadmap.

Hi Iris,

any update on this yet? Or is there any other place where I can follow progress on this?

Thanks,
