Keep window open from Execute Process Task?

  • Question:

    I am using the Execute Process Task in SSIS to run PuTTY's PSFTP tool. Then in the arguments, I'm calling the .src file that contains parameters I want to run in PSFTP. Is there a way to keep the command window open after all the parameters have run so I can see the result?

    Additional info:

    One of my .src files just contains the word "help". This command of course brings up the help text and list of commands in PSFTP. When I run this through SSIS, I can see the command window flash briefly, and I can see the help text. But the window closes immediately. This is just a simple test. What I'd like to do is enter some of the commands necessary to open the FTP host (with user id & password), change directory, list files on the FTP server, etc. But I want the window to stay open so I can see the results as I test. There is a "quit" command in PSFTP, and I am not using that command in my src file. So it seems like the command window is being closed by SSIS instead. I have tried enabling all of the break-points for the Execute Process Task. When I click through step-by-step, the command window still pops and closes immediately.

  • No, there is unfortunately no way to run that task "interactively".
