I used file system watcher to read excel on my pc it worked fine, but when I tried to read the excel from SharePoint it did't work. The FileWatcher box showing the yellow color for long time that I had to stop the ssis.
So my question what is the cause of this. Do i need to set something or am i missing something? Please help.

|||What is the path you are using?
I think of sharepoint files as being accessed via http, and of course it will not work for that.

It would be ggod to see what is reported in log execution.

Sorry I used file Watcher Task, as provided on SQLIS.com, in SSIS and used UNC paths and http to connect SharePoint but it did not connect . Am i missing somethig? Since if I used the watcher task to connect to my local computer it worked.|||

Try making a connection using Execute Process to do a "net use" first - that will make sure that you can connect and have security permissions. I've also found that when using UNC paths to SharePoint, I usually have to make an initial connection to establish my credentials before I can access it programmatically.
