Option 1) Sequence Container with multiple (3) FTP Tasks inside of it.
Option 2) Write a custom script.

What are the filenames? Do these 3 files follow a pattern?

I'm working on the same problem. I'm trying to pull down multiple different files (orders) from an FTP site. Their names follow a pattern 850*.txt, but I'm wondering how to pull back and manage the filenames so I can go back and delete them later after they've been downloaded.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Chris

Solution #1:
Store data (filenames) in a table. Use SQL Task to cycle rows and save each row into an Object. Use "Foreach ADO Enumerator" and drop FTP task within Foreach container.

Solution #2:
Store data (filenames) in an ArrayList and save each row into an Object. Use "Foreach From Variable Enumerator" to evaluate each filename and drop FTP task within Foreach container.

Good luck!
