i'm trying to deploy camunda diagram using nodered but it shows me this error :  
"Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:/Users/Ahmed/Desktop/process1.bpmn'"  
P.S. the nodered isn't running locally , it's running on a server and the file on my desktop

That's your problem. The node-red server file system is not the same as your desktop.

Either copy the file to the node-red server or create something (like a dashboard) that uploads a local file to the server first.

so it's impossible to read file from desktop when the server has the nodered ?

No, not impossible - more like "you probably shouldn't" - for example, you could make this this file available to the server via FTP Server or a network share & have node-red read it across the network (not that i would chose that as first option).

i would likely create a dashboard that uploads the file to the server - something like [this](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/c70d0b4c54b583cf30c7e989b74feb68) or [this](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/5805a1141b1212d2c55c1781b9dbd15b)

If the file is definitely in that location then its likely permissions issue. Are you certain the error is the same?

try putting it somewhere common like `/svr/upload/xxx.bpmn` or `/data/node-red/xxx.bpmn` and ensure the account running node-red has access to that directory & file
