I want to read files on the KNIME WebPortal.
So i made a FTP Connection and listed my files and let the User chose whether file thy want.
In the next step i make a Temp Dir, where these files should be stored. This directory is located in the workflow folder. In there, there are three additional path variables created, too.
First question: I want to store one of my chosen file before in one of these additional pah variables. Via the “Download”-Node it doesn’t work. Instead, it takes the path variable, sees it as a directory and saves the chosen file with its original name. Could someone help me to store my chosen file as a temp flow variable “xy.fasta”?
Right now, i “String Manipulate” my flow variable that way, that the directory is right. I transform it to an URL(looks like knime://…), so that my Line reader should work. But then i get the error message that there is not an access to the file.
I would appreciate every kind of help. Thanks!
I can see from the screenshot that it’s trying to access /tmp/… which would explain the error message. Try setting the property as indicated in the link above, and see if that helps.
Hi Jeff,
As you can see i do create the Temp Directory in the workflow folder. Is there any other way to go aroung this problem? Which nodes do i have to use?
