SMB Connector

The SMB Node allows to seamlessly connect with SMB servers, enabling file operations such as uploading, downloading, and managing files within your workflows.

The SMB Node provides a powerful way to integrate with SMB (Server Message Block) servers, a common protocol used for shared file access in networks. This node enables you to perform various file-related actions, such as uploading, downloading, renaming, and deleting files, directly from your workflow. It simplifies file management by automating these operations within a flow.

You can configure the SMB Connector by providing the necessary connection details (server path, authentication credentials, etc.), and then specify the file actions you want to perform. This node is especially useful for automating interactions with file servers in enterprise environments, enhancing efficiency and reducing manual effort.
