How does the attachment file is being sent by the server? – Whomever

it is coming in response only – Washcloth

can you paste here a response maybe use «gist», it would be lovely to see how its getting to you. Or if you can make a postman mock with the example and place it here. pls – Whomever

Postman and Newman are two different tools. A specific question should be limited to a specific tool. – Crustal

If you're sending a request from within the Postman app, you can "Send and download" the response.

...you should select “Send and download” which will let you save the response to your hard disk.

If you're trying to do it by script, here's a tutorial about writing to your local file system by running a local server, or how to use Newman to do something similar.

I tried using the script but it is not working. The Script mention uses express module. I installed express module in npm but now getting error "cannot find module 'express'". Is there a way to use send and download directly via Script – Washcloth

@ArchitGoyal did you install the dependences in the current directory? or perhaps your node_modules directory is in another place? https://mcmap.net/q/135194/-node-js-error-cannot-find-module-39-express-39 – Goiter

I installed the dependencies in the current directory only. – Washcloth
