i created a fresh one and did it in the way you had mentioned earlier in one of your posts by creating 6 variables, but still i get the same error. i need to make sure of one thing. in the foreach loop container, for the variable mapping section -- here do we just give some arbitary name or the exact file name of one of the files in the folder. i tired both ways but still getting the same error.

the file system task works for a single file. so i think there must be something wrong with the foreach loop container.

i appreciate your help in this matter.
