# Write Binary File
|
||||
|
||||
The Write Binary File node is used to write a file to the host machine that runs n8n.
|
||||
|
||||
::: tip 💡 Keep in mind
|
||||
1. If you are running n8n in Docker, your command will run on the n8n container and not the Docker host.
|
||||
2. This node will look for files relative to the n8n install path. It is recommended to use absolute file paths to prevent any errors.
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
## Node Reference
|
||||
|
||||
1. ***File Name*** field: This field specifies the path to which the file should be written, along with the file name.
|
||||
2. ***Property Name*** field: Name of the binary property to which to write the data of the read file.
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Usage
|
||||
|
||||
This workflow allows you to write a file to the host machine using the Write Binary File node. You can also find the [workflow](https://n8n.io/workflows/590) on the website. This example usage workflow would use the following nodes.
|
||||
- [Start](../../core-nodes/Start/README.md)
|
||||
- [HTTP Request](../../core-nodes/HTTPRequest/README.md)
|
||||
- [Write Binary File]()
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The final workflow should look like the following image.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Start node
|
||||
|
||||
The start node exists by default when you create a new workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. HTTP Request node
|
||||
|
||||
1. Enter the URL of the file in the ***URL*** field. For example, `https://docs.n8n.io/assets/img/n8n-logo.png`.
|
||||
2. Select the 'File' option from the ***Response Format*** dropdown list.
|
||||
3. Click on ***Execute Node*** to run the node.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
