Able to run packages outside Designer, but not one containing FTP task

Hi. I have read most of the threads on not being able to run packages outside the Designer, in Agent. I believe my problem is different:

I am able to run some packages with Agent. In fact, we have a couple scheduled and running every night.

However, when we try to run a package that contains an FTP task it only runs in debug mode. If we import it into our server or run it without debugging it keeps failing and giving us the now famous:

The task...... cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition.

So, we have some packages already scheduled and running, but we can't run this specific package with the FTP task. We (two of us) have created this package in the same way we created the other ones. We have created different versions to see if one gets a hit, with no success.

Any thoughts would be greately appreciated.

Do you have SSIS installed on this machine (check if you have SSIS Service installed)?|||

Michael, thanks for replying.

I and a co-worker have local machines on which we design all the packages. When they run fine in debug mode we import them into a server dedicated to SQL Server 2005 and all tools/services. It contains the databases, Integration Services, Reporting Services, etc.

We have created and scheduled several packages to run over night or over the weekend. The only one that is giving us problems is this FTP package. It would work fine in debug mode. We would import it into the server and it would fail. Based on something I found in another thread I ran it on my local machine without debugging and it failed. This is the only package that fails when not in debug mode; all the other packages run fine in both modes: debug and not debug.

I assume that if we didn't have SSIS installed none of the packages would run, but we are fairly new at this.

Is the FTP task/process maybe special in some way or have a special set of requirements?

Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

|||When you run the package with FTP task on server, where you have SSIS installed - what error do you get? The problem why it fails on server is probably different than the problem why it fails on workstation in non-debug. For more details on second issue, see
