Hello,
I am building a packge where an FTP task needs to pull down a single file every day from a specific location. The location will only have the one file. The file name will be different every day. A sample of one of the file names looks like this:
CDNSC.CDNSC.SC00015.04012007
The file names will be different every day, as the last eight digits represent the date of the data in the file. The source files will be located in a subdirectory called 'outgoing'.
My first approach to this has been to use a Dyamic Properties Task to set the SourceFileName of the FTP Task. I tried using a sting Global Variable expressed as *.*.*.* thinking a wildcard would work, but it didn't.
What approaches can I take so that the Source Filename in the FTP task will dymanically update each day to get the one file?
Thank you for your help!

I wound up creating a script solution that was pretty straight forward. I basically set up string variables using DATE to get the data portion of the file name, concatenated that to the first part of the filename, and set the whole string equal to the SourceFileName of the FTP Task. It seems to work fine.
