Why can’t I output files to /config/www/ with “write file”-node anymore?

Third party integrations Node-RED

My current setup:

OS Version:               Home Assistant OS 9.5
Home Assistant Core:      2023.11.2
Node RED: 				  16.0.2

Why can’t I output files to /config/www/ with “write file”-node anymore?

I used to have a working flow where had an image representation in msg.payload. I used the “write file”-node to save it to /config/www/kommandoran/image.jpg. That worked fine.

Now, if I use /config/www/kommandoran/screensaver_image.jpg as file name in the “write file” node, the file ends up here:

/addon_configs/a0d7b954_nodered/www/screensaver_image.jpg

I need to be able to save file /config/www/kommandoran/screensaver_image.jpg. How could that be done? in version 16.0.2?

I really cant blame any specific update or version for this, but I’m suspecting this:

Current version: 16.0.2 (Changelog)
What’s changed
:warning: With this release, the nodered data folder will migrate/move out of the Home Assistant configuration folder into a dedicated folder for this add-on. You can access add-on configuration folders using SSH, Samba, VSCode, and similar add-ons by accessing the addon_configs folder/share.

And if you hadmve had version 16.0.0 installed, then the move might have failed.
Look at the Node Red release notes for the later versions.
