Abstract

The built-in File System Task in SSIS does basic operations on files, such as copy, move, and delete. Sometimes, however (especially in data transfer scenarios), you want to find the most recent file, or you want to check whether a file is locked or if it is read-only. In these situations, Script Task is useful in getting help from .NET libraries such as System.IO.File. This chapter presents some very common usage examples of working with files within Script Task.
