FTP authentication information does not persist when deploying packages

I am trying to deploy a SSIS package which includes a FTP task. It works fine on the machine it was developed . When deploying the package on a production server, all other config changes work, but the FTP task is failing, with authentication error.

any help on how to persist the data would be appreciated

thanks

Maybe it's because the password was stored encrypted and couldn't be decrypted on the new machine... This is quite common and happens often when moving a package from machine to machine.

As far as I know you can get around this by using package passwords instead of the normal encryption. You can also save a package without encryption (what is not recommended...) or use a configuration to push the password back into the package i.e. using an XML file (but then the password is unencrypted in the XML)...
