Creates a temporary folder upon execute and exposes its path as flow variable. This can be useful in (a) demo applications where the actual path of the output is not all that relevant, e.g. the KNIME public workflow server and (b) KNIME WebPortal and quickform flows, where some data is written, which is later downloaded by means of, e.g. a web link. The folder is deleted upon closing the workflow. The node can be also configured in a way that the created temporary folder is deleted upon reset.
Note: By default the temporary folder is created directly in the workflow data area, as defined by “.“ in the Folder field
This node can access a variety of different file systems. More information about file handling in KNIME can be found in the official File Handling Guide.
