Extension Designer removed the file node from the product as it poses as a security risk. It has the capability to read any file on the machine and overwrite that file. This forum exists to allow the user to add this node in cases where the reward outweighs the risks.

Attached is an artifact that can be used to add the file node to the product.

To install the file node:
1. Download the artifact from this forum.
2. Upload the artifact into Extension Designer.

3. Install the artifact.

4. Restart all of the services that apply.

5. You will notice that the file nodes are installed as soon as you refresh the page.
