Hi Adrian,
At this point I am totally lost... Sorry... From what I gather, something in my install process has set up node-red to not be able to read files in my dcole directories.
dcole is the primary user setup with Ubuntu when it was installed via a net install script. Running 20.04 now. Fully updated, etc.
Now that I have thrown what is probably a lot of useless data in the hopes something may help, do you see anything I did wrong ion the install?
For reference, the install process was as follows:
1. From Ubuntu's software installer, I selected Node Red, and installed it.
2. I began writing flows...
3. No other issues until now...
I have flows reading web pages, and showing results, etc... Some of them parse the pages, only issues are reading local files so far...
That is the overview of what I have done so far with node-red. I have been running Linux for a few years, but not deeply into it, as I am sure you can tell... Thank you for your patience.
73, and thanks,
Dave (NK7Z)

Alan, Would you run node-red as root rather than your normal user,
when operating node red from that normal user's home .node-red folder ?
I am assuming that is Dave's setup..
I think setting it up correct may avoid other issues for Dave in the future.
The stat response gave us info on existing link(s) worth exploring also.

Adrian and John
Rather than changing the file permissions, can John simply read the file with a sudo prefix?
If so, John, prepend the below, to your read command:
?"sudo -S <<< "password" <insert command here>
