Greetings

What would you recommend from your experience when hitting an external remote ftp site to extract/download a huge 4GB zip file: use a script or use ftp task?

Thanks

I have used both within SSIS ..not much difference in performance IMO. Script is easier if you need to browse the remote location and evaluate the contents to determine what files to bring down.




Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
