How can I download (via RSS Feed) and upload (via SFTP) an MP3 file?

Hi everyone,

n8n newbie here, although I’ve used Make.com before and I’m guessing the theory is similar?

What I’m trying to do (at a set time) is capture/download the latest MP3 from an RSS feed, then send that to a module to upload that same MP3 file via SFTP.

Current in my workflow I have RSS Feed then ? then the FTP module. The FTP module connects (tested the SFTP connection) and the RSS Feed module can see content from the rss link, but when I’ve tried HTTP get or XML to JSON or aggregate module, I can’t seem to figure how to get that MP3 data from the RSS feed to the FTP(SFTP) upload?

Any thoughts on what module to use in the chain and what info to put into it?

Thanks in advance.

Here is an example of how I did it for testing purpose:

The flow is pretty self-explanatory - we get the rss, filter, extract the links, download them and upload to ftp server (I used an online testing service, which allows storing files for 1 hour for free.

Thank you very much for sharing that Jabbson - that was brilliant!

It all works, and I even was able to change file names for uploading.

Thanks so much for sharing your workflow with me (and everyone here reading).
