I have an ETL that uses ActiveX script to connect to SFTP and download files. The ActiveX script creates an object of type "CuteFTPPro.TEConnection". The ETL successfully runs when manually executed. But, the ETL fails when scheduled. Fails with the error "Cannot create object of type CuteFTPPro.TEConnection"

Code in the script which gives an error when scheduled:
Set objConnectionSite = CreateObject("CuteFTPPro.TEConnection")

Please help me fix this error.

I assume this is DTS on SQL 2000.

In any event, has CuteFtpPro been installed on the SQL Server?

When you run the package by hand you are running the package on the machine where you are logged in, not the server (unless physically at the server, or logged in through terminal server). So I bet that you have Cute installed on your workstation but not on your server.

Sounds to me that the COM object needs to be authenticated - within the snapin for com objects, you can select the account that the COm object runs with... I had the same problem. I ended up with a service account.

Better late than never...
