MS SQL Server 2000 Standard
MS NT Server 4.0 SP 6a


I put a File Transfer Protocol Task in my DTS Package to download a new data file from a remote site. I was able to successfully enter the site/user name/password and select the file and destination that I was to download.

The problem: The file downloads (about 50MB). I can watch in Explorer and see the file size grow. When the download ends, the file is deleted. I am unable to import the file.

I have run this same download using ftp.exe -s:script.ftp successfully. The file downloads and I am able to import.

Question is: why does the file get deleted automatically after the download.

Thanks."
