This could be a really simple thing I am missing, I am trying to write to a file or copy a file to a remote file share location. I get a permission error when I try to do so. I am not sure what I should be giving permission to allow node-red to write to a shared folder. This is a windows machine. T…

I had a similar problem, attached link to the solution I got : [image] Copy a local file to a shared folder with password General I already managed to solve it. Thank you for helping me, i understand now about what was wrong The bug was that node-network was not connecti…

Pretty clear error: Please check if you have git installed and in your PATH.

Are both of the machine Windows ?? What version of WIndows is it ? Craig

I imagine Node-Red would be inheriting the permission of the service it is running as. Based on the fact that you have not stated these machines are in a Domain i would therefore assume they are standalone servers. I have not looked at the SMB node - are you able to give it permissions ? (i.e. user …

It is on a domain, I have checked the fileshare permissions already. I see Nxito has an interesting approach to this. I'm going to try that and give an update.
