I'm new to SSIS and have the following problem:

I have an SSIS package which has an Execute Process Task in it.
This process has it's executable set to run a bat file whose contents are :-

FTP -s:MyFiles.txt

The contents of the MyFiles.txt file hold all the FTP commands:-

open myserver
username
password
ASCII
CD mydirectory:
GET file1.csv
GET file2.csv
bye



I am firing this from the server itself, if I run the batfile by double clicking it the files transfer OK,
but if i try and run the package from within Visual Studio the process goes green (as if all is OK) but nothing gets transferred?

I have set the path within the Execute Process Task as D:\MyDirectory\ (which is where the batfiles reside, and that is where the files get copied when I fire up the batfile by double clicking it).

This is the first time I've tried to run a bat file wiht SQL Server 2008, they run OK within 2005 on the old server so I'm a little stumped on this one.

Any ideas please.

Sorted now, it was the 'working directory' part of the process that was causing the problem.
