Are you trying to save to a folder on the machine node red is running on, or on the machine the dashboard is running on? If the former then you can use a File Out node to write the file. If the latter then you need to download the data to the client machine.

Thank you for your attention to my issue. I have found a way to save multiple files into PostgreSQL.
