Make sure you are in BINARY mode in FTP.
It's not usually (perhaps not ever) the client default.

When you get the file on the target, check its size in bytes 
matches exactly that from the origin. Even one byte difference 
in a binary file (like P12 DER) is fatal. 

To answer as asked (but probably superfluous):

You could also use SFTP (Putty provides a Windows client) 
which AFAICT does ONLY binary/image/no-cleverness;
(get and) run NFS software on the Windows machine
so that Linux (or Unix) can mount and access it;
or (get and) run Samba on Linux so that Windows can access it.

Or (re)configure a webserver on the Linux to serve 
this file as application/octet-stream or a similar type 
that a browser on Windows (can't render and) will store.

Or write to removable media in a Windows-understandable 
filesystem and move that to the Windows. Today that's 
USB memory or disk (probably FAT) or maybe CD-R; 
or floppy if you still have them.
