Deploying SSIS Package to Linux Server and Correct Folder Path Syntax- The file name "/home/..." specified in the connection was not valid

Hello

I have set up an SSIS package on Windows to download a CSV file from an FTP run some transforms and download images from a list of URLs which works fine.

I then want to deploy this onto an Ubuntu server running SQL Server 2017 with SSIS installed.

As the SSISDB Catalog is not supported on Linux it seems the only way to run this is as a cron job as per the instructions here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-schedule-ssis-packages?view=sql-server-2017

However as I must develop the package on Windows I cannot enter Linux compatible paths as this raises an error and I cannot save the connection in Visual Studio. As a workaround I open the .dtsx package with VS Code and edit the paths in the XML to /home/...

I then execute the package using:

/opt/ssis/bin/dtexec /Decrypt PASSWORD /F /home/WEBSITE/stocklist/RefreshAutoTraderStocklist.dtsx

But whatever I do this always fails and says the paths are not valid. I have tried running as SU and also chmodding the files and folders being accessed to 777 yet it makes no difference. I cannot find any documentation on this specifically relating to Linux so am not sure how I can get this working.

Errors are:

The files and folders do exist in the locations mentioned but all I can guess is that when the SSIS package is trying to validate itself it is seeing these paths as invalid as they would not be valid on Windows but I am not sure how I can bypass this.

Thanks
