Gettin error "The item has no binary field '"[object Object]"' [item 0]" when trying to use binary file

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m trying to download a file from one place and upload it to another via n8n. I can get the binary file as we can see in the image, but when uploading I get this error.

What is the error message (if any)?

The item has no binary field ‘[object Object]’ [item 0]

Check that the parameter where you specified the input binary field name is correct, and that it matches a field in the binary input
