I have a workflow in n8n that requires saving simple text files hosted by SeaTable to the local filesystem.

The HTTP request node is using the GET method and the Response Format is set to File. The expression in the URL field returns a valid URL from SeaTable.

If I paste the URL in a browser window I am asked to save the file as would be expected and the file is served correctly. However, the Write Binary File that follows saves the content of the HTML served by SeaTable and not that of the file.

Is it not possible to retrieve files with n8n yet or am I doing something wrong?

Edit: I forgot to mention that I’ve tried Header and Digest Authentication methods.
