Thanks a lot for your quick reply. Actually I already knew that I could reactivate the executeCommand node but it has been deactivated since it has proven to be a security threat. I think this is a good design choice, since usually most n8n-flowgrammers don’t need to actually be able to execute commands on the host system but simply want to do basic file operations like read, write and delete. For the latter I just created a feature request: Add "delete" action to “Read/Write Files from Disk” node
