I tried getting ContentVersions, ContentDocuments and ContentDistribution from Salesforce. But I don’t get how I can use the file I’m getting and set it as correct input parameter for the FTP action.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

What is the error message (if any)?

No error message. Not able to find the right way to get the data of the Salesforce file to pass it to a FTP
