I've been tasked in creating an ssis solution which extracts data once a day, loads specific fields and exports them to a .txt file (pipe delimited), As the final step, it uploads the file via FTP to a source. I've accomplished all these steps successfully, however, I was just asked if the file uploaded could be cumulative since it's uploaded daily,and this is where I'm drawing a blank to fullfill this request. I'm not sure what I need to do additionally to finalize this solution with the cumulative uploads. Any light shed will be appreciated, as always.
Thanks,

Can you be a bit more specific about what 'cumulative' means in this case?
Is the problem that you are doing a full extract every day and the requirement is for changes only?
If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.

I'm sorry I wasn't more specific. It could be either a cumulative file daily or a file with just new records/leads.

OK, I'm not getting any closer to understanding what you want.
Can you provide some sample data showing what you currently have and what you want to have?

quick update:
At this point I just need to append a date time stamp to the name of the file (i.e. FileName_YYYYMMdd_HHmmss.txt)
How can I accomplish this?

1. Set a string variable with an expression for the file name. The following is close but the date is not formatted to your specifications and will need a bit more work.
"FileName_" + (DT_WSTR, 50) (DT_DBTIMESTAMP)GetDate()
2. Set the connection string expression to the variable in the connection manager for the text file. Be sure the path to the file is included.

Done, but I obviously had to modify the expression but it works. Now, I need to send an email upon successful FTP task with the record count from the .TXT file, but I'm not sure if I need to do this thru a data flow task or control flow task. How do I best accomplish this?
Thx,

Check out the 'Row Count' Transformation in BOL or MSDN. Here's the article from MSDN.
