File System Task Editor (General Page)

Use the General page of the File System Task Editor dialog to configure the file system operation that the task performs.

To learn about this task, see File System Task.

You must specify a source and destination connection manager by setting the SourceConnection and DestinationConnection properties. You can either provide the names of File connection managers that point to the files that the task uses as a source or destination, or if the paths of the files are stored in variables, you can provide the names of the variables. To use variables to store the file paths, you must set first set the IsSourcePathVariable option for the source connection and the IsDestinationPatheVariable option for the destination connection to True. You can then choose the existing system or user-defined variables to use, or you can create new variables. In the Add Variable dialog box, you can configure and specify the scope of the variables. The scope must be the File System task or a parent container. For more information see, Integration Services Variables and Using Variables in Packages.

Note

The File System task operates on a single file or directory. Therefore, this task does not support the use of wildcard characters to perform the same operation on multiple files or directories. To have the File System task repeat an operation on multiple files or directories, put the File System task in a Foreach Loop container. For more information, see File System Task.
