FTP downloaded Excel file is corrupted

Hello,

I made a simple flow to download from an FTP connector ( not SFTP ) an Excel file from a site.

This file if downloaded manually from the site is not corrupted, but If I take its content by using Power APutomate Get contect step and I put it into a new Excel file in Onedrive/sharepoint, when I open it is corrupted and cannot do it.

 

I searched around all forums and I saw the solution of setting the FTP connetion to Binary transfer, this isn't working for me.

 

I tried the function  base64ToBinary() but it is not working.

 

I tried removing the Deduce content type option, it doesn't work.... and the excel file from it's source is correct.

 

this is ny flow:

running the flow I see this content:

Can somebody tell me what else should I do?
