Describe the problem/error/question

basically title; I’m trying to send binary image files to my n8n cloud instance via webhooks however intermittently I’m getting this error about no such directory, or whatever. Is there something I can set to prevent these errors from occuring?

What is the error message (if any)?

Problem in node ‘Webhook‘
ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/tmp/hf0x0ehtj8xyamjhi899guj3w'

I’ve been having headaches with these binary files for a while; I’ve looked at alot of other replies as well but they were in reference to self-hosted docker instances, not cloud service

I don’t think I solved it, but I’m not experiencing the problem currently. The issue seemed to be that I was streaming the data to the webhook, using some logic with io.Pipe in Go w/ the Gin framework. I used the ReadAll method, and then sent it – didn’t run into issues. I don’t quite know how this relates to the tmp dir not found error. But seems to be something with binary files and how exactly it’s sent in the http request

Glad to hear you’re not experiencing the problem currently. The tmp directory is where files are stored during execution, so something was causing it to go missing (or not yet be available). If the issue re-occurs, feel free to re-open.
