Hello I'm pretty new to Node-red. I've already made a program that writes a CSV-file. My aim with this project is to display a link to download the file via the dashboard so the end user can download it. I've been searching and I think I found a solution but I'm not quiet able to make it work, c…

You would need to put your csv file somewhere where the http server has access. Checkout the settings for httpstatic in your settings.js (and in the docs) Also i would suggest not using ~ in the name

I changed, it hope you can import it now.

http static shouldn’t include ~

I did something similar. Except the button. In my case, the csv file lies on a local Share on a machine. I solved it with the execute function and smbget https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smbget.1.html Works Fine this way :wink:

Do you have an example of this?

I used this example to download a file using only standard nodes and it worked: https://flows.nodered.org/flow/db68bd4934cf46f39e6e453a348bc419
