Mounted Volume - Read/Write Files from Disk Node issue

[tautv]

Hi,

Been trying to upload some files to an FTP, but have an issue.
There’s a file in /Volumes/CS/FULL.txt, but Read/Write Files from Disk node (read part) doesn’t return binary data at all?
It works fine if I move this file onto my /Users/user/Desktop/FULL.txt

Everything else works perfectly fine on the Volume (it’s a mounted smb).
Is there a reason why files on smb mount don’t return binary data?

(Works fine from Desktop path)

(same file, but sitting in a Volume - doesn’t return data).

Just in case, I’ve tried multiple file formats and sizes - no difference.
All other nodes seem to work fine, including binary write on the same folder in /volumes/CS/.

The FTP upload node requires binary data, so I was trying to read this file, then upload it to FTP, but get stuck a step behind this.

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

• n8n version:
• Database (default: SQLite):
• n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
• Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
• Operating system:

Did some testing. It has nothing to do with mounted volumes or smb, but with characters used in the path.

n8n Read From File fails to return data if folder or filename contains ( and ) characters in the path.

Just sumbitted a bug report for this.
