Article
07/16/2015

Applies To: SQL Server 2016 Preview

Gets or sets the value that indicates the minimum number of bytes to retrieve from or send to the server during a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) read/write operation.

Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS (in Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.dll)

Syntax

public int ChunkSize { get; set; }

public:
property int ChunkSize {
    int get();
    void set(int value);
}

member ChunkSize : int with get, set

Public Property ChunkSize As Integer

Property Value

Type: System.Int32

An Integer that contains the minimum number of bytes to retrieve or send.

Remarks

Reading or writing in small chunks causes a less optimized round trip to the server because a full packet is not received or sent. The default value is 1 KB. The maximum value is 1000 KB (1 MB).

Examples

Legacy Code Example

The most common method of creating the FTP client connection is by using the ConnectionManager. The InnerObject contains the connection, and all properties of the specific connection contained by the ConnectionManager are accessible through the Properties collection. The following code example shows the creation of an FTP connection using the connection manager, and sets properties using the Properties collection.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.FileSystemTask;

namespace Microsoft.SqlServer.SSIS.Samples
{
    class mySqlServer_Sample
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Package pkg = new Package();
            FtpClientConnection ftp = null;
            Connections conns = pkg.Connections;
            ConnectionManager cm = conns.Add("FTP");

            // Display the default values of the FTP connection properties.
            // Some properties are not shown as they are write-only.
            Console.WriteLine("ChunkSize:      {0}", cm.Properties["ChunkSize"].GetValue(cm));
            Console.WriteLine("Retries:        {0}", cm.Properties["Retries"].GetValue(cm));
            Console.WriteLine("ServerName:     {0}", cm.Properties["ServerName"].GetValue(cm));
            Console.WriteLine("ServerPort:     {0}", cm.Properties["ServerPort"].GetValue(cm));
            Console.WriteLine("ServerUserName: {0}", cm.Properties["ServerUserName"].GetValue(cm));
            Console.WriteLine("Timeout:        {0}", cm.Properties["Timeout"].GetValue(cm));
            Console.WriteLine("UsePassiveMode: {0}",cm.Properties["UsePassiveMode"].GetValue(cm));

            Console.WriteLine();
        }
    }
}
