Default Moving a DTS package to another server

Hello,
How do I move the DTS packages I've created on my developing server to the test server in the best way?

I don't find the way to do it and I have hard to believe that I would have to build them from scratch first on the test server and then again on the production server.

Thanks in advance

//Matte

If the DTS is quite complex, preserving the layout could be
very important.
You could also need to move many DTS.
The best solution I know is the free tool DTSBackup 2000
avalaible at http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?242

You can use the Structured Storage File option in the Package-> Save As.. Location menu.

DTS packages in the form of Structured Storage file (packagename.dts) is very easy to maintain across multiple servers.
