Bug #: 50001447 (SQL Hotfix)



Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release.



SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. In Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS), you create an SSIS package that contains an FTP task. The FTP task deletes remote files from a UNIX FTP server or from a Linux FTP server. In this scenario, you may receive an error message that resembles the following when you run the SSIS package:

[Connection manager &quot;FTP Connection Manager&quot;] Error: An error occurred in the requested FTP operation.

Detailed error description: 550 \ssis\txt\test.rpt: No such file or directory. The attempt to delete file &quot;\ssis\txt\test.rpt&quot; failed. This may occur when the file does not exist, the file name was spelled incorrectly, or you do not have permissions to delete the file.

If you examine the log of the FTP server, you may find error messages that resemble the following:

FTP command: Client &quot; &quot;, &quot;DELE \ssis\txt\test.rpt&quot;

FTP response: Client &quot; &quot;, &quot;550 Delete operation failed.&quot;

FAIL DELETE: Client &quot; &quot;, &quot;/ssis/txt/\ssis\txt\test.rpt&quot;



CAUSE
This issue occurs because the FTP task incorrectly converts the folder separator in the file path from a forward slash (/) to a backward slash (\).



RESOLUTION
The fix for this issue was first released in Cumulative Update 3. For more information about how to obtain this cumulative update package for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

939537 Cumulative update package 3 for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2

Note Because the builds are cumulative, each new fix release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release. Microsoft recommends that you consider applying the most recent fix release that contains this hotfix. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

937137 The SQL Server 2005 builds that were released after SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 was released

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 hotfixes are created for specific SQL Server service packs. You must apply a SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 hotfix to an installation of SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2. By default, any hotfix that is provided in a SQL Server service pack is included in the next SQL Server service pack.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
