    Hi,

    I have some excel files stored in a FTP folder. I want to transfer data from these excel files to my sql table directly from FTP without downloading it to my system.

    I tried FTP task however it downloads the data from the FTP, which I dont want.

    Can anyone provide me the help on how to read a file directly from FTP and import it to sql using data flow task?

    Not possible, as far as I know. Unless you have some other way of accessing these files across a network.

    Correct. That's when "Excel Hell" takes over. 😉 I strongly recommend that you load the "ACE" drivers from Microsoft and bone up on how to use them.

    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
