I have an FTP site which is used as a receiving location by a BizTalk Application.
I need to count if any files have been present form a long time on the FTP site?
How do I complete this task in SSIS.

What is the best method for reading files from a Windows shared folder using a DAG on a remote Apache Airflow server?
My current process needs to be executed a remote Airflow server, but it needs to read and write files (which the client and my process update) that are stored on a shared net Windows folder.
Airflow is installed on remote Linux server (same network)
Windows folders are just standard UNC paths where people have access based on their NT ID. These users are saving files which I need to retrieve.
The files formats are .csv, .xls and .xlsx, which I plan to convert as Dataframes in my Airflow process
Best if I can save my user and password within an Airflow connection to access it with a conn_id
I am having deep thoughts about how to use a FTP server. I am having an application, where I want some user files to be stored on a FTP server. So what I am doing is when user save his/her file on the server side I am opening a connection to the FTP and saves the file. After the file is saved the connection is closed. Because I will have many users using my system simultaniously, so the question is what is the best way to do that- to set the FTP server settings, for example, to allow 1000 simultanious logins and to use a different FTP account for every file upload or to set max-threads to 1000 and to use one ftp account for all user uploads? In my oppinion because the connection is live only for the time the file is uploading it won't be a problem to use one account with multiple threds, but I want to hear someone else oppinion what is the best practise to do that kind of functionality? Thanks.
Is there a method using the Rebex ftp library to directly transfer files between 2 ftp servers without having to download locally and then push to the second site?
See the Link on the Rebex forum: http://forum.rebex.net/questions/4132/transfer-files-from-ftp-sftp-to-ftp-sftp
I am using UltraEdit for FTP. While saving my files to other server using FTP I am getting above error as ;'Error: Requested action not taken. file name not allowed'.
Could anyone know the possible cause and solution for it.
Thanks in advance
Well, the FTP server returns error code 40553 - Requested action not taken. File name not allowed.
The reason is most likely a bad character in file name, or a too long file name, or there is a file already on the server with same name and you do not have the permissions to overwrite this file.
You could also have made a mistake in the FTP account configuration like a typing mistake in initial directory.
Do you have downloaded the file from the FTP server before you tried uploading it?
Please note that Unix file systems most often used on FTP servers are case-sensitive and therefore a file with name "MyFile.txt" is a different file than "myfile.txt".
Finally, very often a firewall blocks data transfer in a separate data channel established from FTP server to FTP client module in UltraEdit. In this case the option Passive transfers (for firewalls) should be enabled on the Server tab of this FTP account in the FTP Account Manager window.
I would like to copy a site which is currently being hosted live on an easyspace web domain to another domain that is hosted by the web company Parallels. I wondered if there was a way of doing this without fist taking the site down and copying the files back to the local server, then re-uploading them again.
If anyone has any advice on this, I would be most grateful!

It is necessary to check if fxp protocol (that is a protocol that supports file transfer between servers) is supported by both servers: but usually is disabled for security reasons. If it is active (make a question to your host admin) than you can use a fxp software as FlashFXP, SmartFTP or FTP Rush (Freeware) or similar sw.
SUPER FAST:
For direct Server to Server file transfers: if you know your ftp url or ip address you can use FlashFXP (not related to adobe flash)
Make a zip file that contains all the live files on your target server. You can do this via command line or easier through your server's cPanel. Compression Time depends on your server's CPU speed and quantity & size of files.
Download a copy of FlashFXP it works well and has a free trial

Log-in to your target server, navigate to directory with your target files.
Log-in to your destination server, navigate to directory to store transfered files.
Once connected & directories are visually lined-up... just drag and drop desired files into desired directory on opposing server.
Overall transfer speed depends on internet backbone traffic & each servers connection + cpu speed & throttling controls between your two servers. GOOD NEWS the speed is NOT reliant on your cable modem's connection speed. No slow download and then even slower upload, just a clear straight shot to the other server.
This FlashFXP Server to Server video tutorial is nice --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XXQgeRWWRw
