File Browser (new)

[Moosbueffel]

Thanks for this great flow, but the download doesn't work. I'm relatively new to NodeRed und doesn't understand the part to do the download.

If I see it right, a box/window should be opened like after pressing delete? But nothing occur. No window, and no download to my windows machine. I use Firefox.

Any idea?

Can you please check the output of the "Execute zip" node? Maybe something goes wrong when it tries to compress the files into a zip file. If that fails, nothing happens on the screen.

Thank you for respons and your help :)

I used the "download file" button. there is no zip after this. I inserted two debug outputs at "Handle file actions" with this result:

If I use "Download all", I get the confirmation box. Than I see: "data_20230610145100.zip" and "Zip file containing all files in this folder has been generated. Click on Download above." Nothing happens after click "Download". The debug-output in this case:

`10.6.2023, 14:52:15node: Handle file actionsfunction : (warn) "file: [object Object]"

10.6.2023, 14:52:16node: Handle file actionsfunction : (warn) "template: "`

That is interesting. I am wondering if this is something which is not supported in Firefox? Do you have Chrome installed? Can you check if it works there? Because everything looks OK for me.

I don't have Chrome, but Opera, which is based on Chrome - I think!? There it is different but also doesn't work. If I press download than a new tab will be opende with this adress:

http://192.168.178.51:1880/download?filename=%2Fhome%2Fpi%2Fupdate_ei23.log

But nothing more happens. The Tab-title show: loading and an endless circle is moving to show the progress.

I can try to install Chrome on an older PC, or can also try the preInstalled Edge, I never used till now. But best is to try Chrome, so you can see, it it is a problem of the browser. Give me some time please.

(btw a download from my Raspi should work in general, because WinSCP works fine.)

Delete also doesn't work (Firefox and Opera). I get the following message in Node-Red: 11.6.2023, 10:53:42[node: Delete file](http://192.168.178.39:1880/#) msg : string[82] "failed to delete file: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, unlink 'filename'"

For the download issue. The http://192.168.178.51:1880/download?filename=%2Fhome%2Fpi%2Fupdate_ei23.log link looks OK. I don't think there is an issue with the link generation, but the download is not working for some reason. Do you get any errors in the debug?

For the delete issue: are you sure you selected a file first to be deleted?
