Connecting to remote Server

  • I am new to BI so be nice please.

    Here is an over view of what of the process.

    1. Connect to Client FTP Server Download files

    So lets say for April I will download SHSEXT080401.ZIP, SHSEXT080402.ZIP, SHSEXT080403.ZIP and so on tell I get the 1st thru 15th files.

    2. Move the files to Our Sever which is the Server SQL 2005 Resides but is a remote server also.

    3. Merge the 1st thru 15th files into one Zip file called SHS_20080615.zip And Place this file in a different location remote Server 2 (SQL 2005 Server).

    Now there is more but for now my issue in one connecting to Remore Server to get files and second is Contecting to remote server where I need to place the file.

  • The server you are running from needs to be able to access the file location on the other 2 servers. You can then write the file path as \\server\(etc.) instead of using a drive letter (C:\(etc.)). I normally put the file path in a variable. In the connection for the file, I use the expressions in the properties window to access the variable.
