Issue with Download node

nbrooijmans · November 21, 2018, 10:36pm

I have defined a folder to download a remote csv file into, but keep getting: Execute failed: /Users/brooij/Downloads (Is a directory)

errors. How do I properly define it? I’ve also tried file:/Users/brooij/Downloads/test.csv (or without the test.csv).

Tnanks,

Hi there!

Which node are you using?

What is the problem when you specify path with test.csv?

The HTTP node into the “Download” node.

Hi!

If not mistaken you should specify a folder and not a file. Maybe try creating new folder inside Downloads and give that path.

/Users/brooij/Downloads/NewFolder

Yes, I had tried that already. It then creates the directory, but it’s empty. And it still gives the same error message: Execute failed: /Users/brooij/Downloads/TEST (Is a directory)

Hi!

you do not have it created already? Maybe that is troubling him. Not sure

As to my knowledge folder should be the same as directory. Have you checked KNIME log? Maybe there is more information…

Hi,

Turns out it was a firewall issue, although it was hidden because the error came from the download node, rather than the http node itself. We actually have it working properly now.

Thanks for the help!
