Sql server 2008 integration services - How to get file from web

Question

I want to create a integration service to regularly get file from a web link. Flat File connection manager only allow me to read from local file, but not from web. How can I do this?

Thanks

Use a script task like seen in this article http://www.sqlis.com/post/Downloading-a-file-over-HTTP-the-SSIS-way.aspx . Then connect to the file using the file connection manager. You are going to need a similar file to the flat file gathered from the web to do the initial settings.
