Summary

Reads a file from the configured SMB2 share using a path relative to the share root. Return its contents as decoded text or as binary data attached to each output item.

Inputs

  • File Path (required) — Path to the file relative to the share root.
  • Output — Choose Text (default) or Binary.
  • Read Encoding — For Text output, decode using UTF-8 by default, ASCII, Latin1, UTF-16LE, Base64, or Hex.
  • Put Output in Field — For Binary output, name the binary property that holds the file bytes; defaults to data.
  • Timeout (Ms) — SMB operation timeout in milliseconds; defaults to 30000.

Output shape

One output item per input item, with file details in json; Binary mode also attaches the file bytes under the selected binary property.

Text mode returns filePath, decoded content, byte size, and encoding. Binary mode returns filePath, fileName, byte size, and mimeType in json, with the prepared file data in binary. File read errors fail the operation unless Continue On Fail is enabled, in which case the item contains an error field.
