I want to use ftp within a DTS package to retrieve a file from a remote ftp server. I can setup the ftp task and get the file, what I would like to know is how to do error checking..

ie: file not found on server. The package is clasified as successful even though no file is available to download...

Thanx in advance....

Not sure how to get a "FileExists" command in FTP but I would figure that setting a global variable with a true or false and then checking that variable in the activex script to set the package to fail or not depending on the dts global variable.

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