FTP Task not saving password in designer

I am using CTP 15 and have created an extremely simple FTP task. I enter three pieces of information:

- Server URL
- Username
- Password

Very simple. I click "Test Connection" and it succeeds. If I click "Ok", then try to re-open the connection manager and test again it fails. The password text box is blank, but the properties window in BIDS for the FTP Connection Manager shows "*******" for the password.

This seems like a very basic problem, anyone else have any ideas? My FTP task that utilizes this FTP Connection Manager also fails with a "missing password" type error message.

Thanks,
Josh

This is true of passwords in any connection manager UI... once they're set, the runtime prevents its retrieval so the UI doesn't know if there's a password or not.

regards|||Even though it doesn't appear in the Connection Manager, you should be able to see it in asterisk in the properties sheet for that connection manager.|||

The problem of this is it works fine in Visual Studio execution. But after deploying in server the execution reveals that the password is missing. How can I pack the password in the deployment file.

Thanks,

FTP Connection Manager

My FTP connection manager is not saving my password. Does anybody know how to resolve this problem?

Thanks

What is the ProtectionLevel property of your package set to?

You should read the documentation of this property. It will explain why this is happening better than I can!
