Hi,
I have a package that will take latest files from [FTP path] archive to the root folder. I have read, write permission for this folder. The package runs on my local as expected.
But when i schedule this package in SQL Server Agent [job], it throws Access to the path is denied error. I have scheduled this job using my account.
Can any one tell me, why the package not runs using my account?

Do you mean that the SQL Server Agent service is using your own personal credentials to run?

yes, i am the owner of this. Its runs using my personal credential. Moreover, if i run this package using dtexec command its running fine here.

Does the path include drive letters? If so, can you use a UNC path instead?

I have sort out the issue now.

I have tried with domain name rather than ip address. Then my agent job is working fine now. But i don't know why it is not taking ip address.

Thanks Phil! :w00t:

Well done. I have no idea either 🙂

However it looks like the SQL Server Agent startup account does not have access to the path specified. Can you double check if the SQL Server Agent is starting with an ID which has sufficient privileges?

If you read the rest of the thread, you'll see that using domain name in the path, rather than IP address, resolved the problem. Perhaps you can suggest why?

May be I was slow in drafting my response. Many updates in the mean while 😉

Even I am not sure how using the Domain name resolved the issue.
