I hope this is the right forum for this question

I am having some trouble with a SSIS Package that has an FTP Task in it. When i run the package manually from Business Intelligence Studio it works fine, but when i deploy it on the server and try to run it from there i get the follwing error: Unable to connect to FTP Server using {FTP Task Name}.

Iv been reading up on Package Protection Levels and Proxy acocunts but im new to 2K5 SSIS packages and i cant seem to get this to run on the server. Can anyone please tell me where im going wrong.

I'd check the obvious first. Checked your FTP task info (server, port, user, password) and your FTP connection info. And verify that you can connect to the FTP server with the info you're using.

Suspect you aren't saving the password info. Try putting it in a configuration file.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

yeah, the server, port, username and password are correct, iv have tested them in bus studio by running it from there.

NR thankyou!!! I think that is the problem but i have no idea how to save the password in a config file (im new to SSIS packages). whats the easiest type of config i can do to achieve this. Environment Variable, Parent Package Variable or SQL Server?

I would really appriciate any help on this.
