What is the path you are using

I think of sharepoint files as being accessed via http, and of course it will not work for that.

Have you try enabaling package logging and letting it run until it finish

It would be ggod to see what is reported in log execution.

They can be referenced by UNC paths (like \\my.server.org\sites\MySite\Shared Documents\myfile.xls) but I believe that only works if you are on the same network as the server - not over the web.

Thank you everybody. Sorry I used file Watcher Task, as provided on SQLIS.com, in SSIS and used UNC paths and http to connect SharePoint but it did not connect . Am i missing somethig Since if I used the watcher task to connect to my local computer it worked.

Try making a connection using Execute Process to do a "net use" first - that will make sure that you can connect and have security permissions. I've also found that when using UNC paths to SharePoint, I usually have to make an initial connection to establish my credentials before I can access it programmatically.
