FTP of BAK file errors network name is no longer available

  • I have a SSIS package, run by a job, that transfers a .bak file to another server once a day. I'm using the FTP control found in the SSIS package. The process tends to fail around the same time period of 41 minutes, with a message indicating "The specified network name is no longer available". This is an intermittent issue as sometimes it will be successful. When it does complete the process it takes 3 hours to complete. There are other databases that are being transferred in the package, with a seperate control for each of them, but it fails when the first one should still be in transfer. The size of the file is 20gb. I have changed the destination server to another and still have the same issue.

  • Correction: it is not the FTP task control that I'm using, it is the File System Task control.

  • That is a network error that means you are losing your connection to the other server. Your network connection is not consistent.
