Hi,
Is it possible to change between the FTP connection to File connection based on a configuration variable value so that the package should support copy of files from either a FTP Folder or a normal Folder and put it in a local folder in the server.

Thanks in advance.

nope. not using same task.
However, what you can do instead is to add two tasks one for ftp and other for file transfer using file system task. and then execute either of them based on a condition specified using constraint and expression option in precedence constraint.
If you explain more on scenario, we will be able to provide much detailed info

Another option is to use a script task.
Do you have to use SSIS?


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