Hi,
under the script that I use for upload file using SSIS asp.net task.
My problem....
If I comment this line
'ftp.SendFiles(files, "", True, False) ' the True makes it overwrite existing
upload made successfull without failure instead If I leave uncomment I got an error but files upload anyway correct.
Someone can give me some explains about this behavior?

So please correct me if I do not understand.

If your code looks like that:

files(0) = "\\manny-slave\appWork\FACT-FINDER\a.txt"
files(1) = "\\manny-slave\appWork\FACT-FINDER\b.txt"
http://ftp.SendFiles(files, "", True, False)
http://ftp.Close()

then it rise error?

What is the error message?

But if your code looks like that:

files(0) = "\\manny-slave\appWork\FACT-FINDER\a.txt"
files(1) = "\\manny-slave\appWork\FACT-FINDER\b.txt"
http://ftp.Close()

then there is no error and files are placed on the ftp server?

Did you check that a.txt and b.txt files does not exists on the ftp server before run the second code?

OK, now work...this is the rigth codes.

Tnks for support anyway...

use Directory.GetFiles() for my array of string file.

http://ftp.SendFiles(Directory.GetFiles(strPathDirectoryLocal & "\" & strNomeCartella), "/imports/SSIS/" & strNomeCartella, True, False)
