I cann access the data using the link and file name.

Try setting it to NOT parse the response to JSON (its HTML/string data)

PS, is the only reason you setup httpStatic so that you can access local files inside node-red? because you could simply use a file read node instead.

okay thanks. in which scenario should we use then httpstatic?

@yusufscelik

in which scenario should we use then httpstatic

When you want to serve static content to other things (typically browsers)

If you just want to read files from the same file system where Node-RED exists, then use the file node.
