I made 9 DTSs which 8 of them run perfectly as scheduled jobs, but I have one that starts using FTP to get files from a Dialer and every time I set it up as a job it fails at step 1. I have looked at other forums at google searches and they all say it is a permissions issue. but I have checked and made the account a Sys Admin on the SQL server, I have gave the account read and write access to the share and, in the FTP step I put in the logon details that I want it to use. So I think I have everything covered but still it will not run as a scheduled job yet runs perfectly if I execute the DTS manually.

I had similar problem earlier with one of DTS package. Manually execute the package, it will run. If I put on schedule it will fail. Even after giving the SA permision I was not able to schedule the package. So finally, I created a batch file which calls this DTS Package and put it on Windows Task Scheduler, it worked. But I was never able to run that package as SQL Job, it always use to fail. I cant still figure out why it is so..

Thanks
