• I experienced the same recently with opening a DTS package on a 2000 SP4 server. This is a standalone installation with no other instances or versions of SQL. It contains an FTP task as yours did though. I was able to open the package remotely though from a client machine and revert to a prior version of the package. I only received the error message when trying to open it locally on the server. Were you able to open the package from a client machine?
