Automatically Run SSIS Package From Where Stopped after Server Connection Timeout

Question

Been working on a SSIS package for a few days now. Server keeps timing out halfway through package execution. I have a ForEach Loop container that is looping through a directory of excel files to import the excel data into SQL Server; there is about 500 files in the directory. This is starting to become very time consuming because my server has been timing out. My question is this:

Is there a script I could write to have this package run from where it left off as the server timed out?

Thanks

You could use Checkpoints to make your package start from where it stopped in the last run. As always, MSDN documentation is a good place to start.
