I'm trying to use the SSIS FTP task to GET files from a VMS machine.

Previously, I have written batch files and executed them, but Id rather use
the task, if I can get it to work.

Problem is that the files aren't in the root ftp directory, and I need to
effect a "CD" of some kind. If I try and refer to the file using the
ABCD$WXYZ:FILENAME syntax, (which works fine at the ftp prompt), I get a
validation failure message saying

'Remote path ABCD$WXYZ:FILENAME doesn't start with a "/" '

Which is kind of frustrating. Any clues?

Thanks in advance.
