Hello again,

I'm using the 2008 FTP Task which includes the login and password.

The package completess successful and uploads the files.

However when ran from an agent job, it fails with "Key not valid... password not allowed"

Much has been posted about various ways to resolve this issue.
Can someone give me the simplest solution please?
Thanks, Jack

We can close this topic.
I added a C# script to resolve the password issue.

you just need to choose protection level as save sensitive using password and give a password for package.

Then in job after adding package step give same password there and it will be able to get sensitive details including FTP password while executing

Thanks, visakh16.

You said: "Then in job after adding package step give same password there and it will be able to get sensitive details including FTP password while executing"

Can you explain how I would do that in the job step, please?

I like your technique better than adding a C# script which is what I used.

Thanks, Jack

Ok..Reading again I understand what you were telling was password that FTP task uses and not ssis package password.
In such cases best thing you can do is to use a variable to pass the password to FTP task using expression buolder and then add variable as a configurable item and then pass it through your configurations (either through XML file, SQL server table query or registry/environment variable)

see an example here where I've done it using password passed by user as a config item.
