Send file

1. Description

It is designed to send a file.

The block (Fig. 1.(1)) is used in space to build the Flow. The settings panel for this component opens (Fig.1(2)) when you click on the block.

1.1. Send file block

The block consists of the following elements:

1. The name of the component;

2. In branch — receiving (connecting with the previous block) branch;

3. Out branch — outgoing (connecting with the following block) branch. When hovering over the Out field, a switch appears. The switch allows this component to be connected to a component that already has a connection.

The presence of an icon indicates that the switch is on, and this component can be connected to a component that already has a connection.

Changing the switch position removes the outgoing branch of this component.
