File Connection

Declares a generic SSIS File connection manager with 'FileUsageType="CreateFile"', meaning the package expects to create the file at runtime rather than reading or appending to an existing one. Adjust 'FilePath' to the location you want, and switch 'FileUsageType' to 'ExistingFile', 'CreateFolder', or 'ExistingFolder' if you need to point at an existing artifact instead. This connection type is used by Execute Process tasks, File System tasks, and any component that takes an arbitrary file or folder.
