I'm trying to use 2005 Integration Services to import data from a web address into a SQLServer 2005 database.
The address I want to download data from is http://www.nymerc.com/futures/innf.txt
I'm not sure how I am supposed to access the data on the website. What kind of connection manager do I use? Flat File? HTTP? When I try to use a flat file connection manager, I set the connection string to 'http://www.nymerc.com/futures/innf.txt', but when I click OK, the connection string gets changed to 'c:\documents and settings\....\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\V01H744)\innf.txt'
Is this expected?
What's the best practice for using a web page as a data source?
Hi ECDOK,
Can you get FTP acess to this site? That would be one way to gain access to it using SSIS.
The only other approach I can think of is to use a Script Task and get this data as an HttpStream.
