DTS Restore from a file

We have a production server and a bunch of development servers. The
Production server is located in a NOC (Network Operations Center)
facility and is physically unaccessible on a regular basis. There are
DTS packages on the production server which we'd like to pull down to
our Dev servers.

I was able to save the DTS package to a file and downloaded it to our
Dev Servers. But how in the world do I restore it?? I'm a fairly
technical guy and for the life of me, I'm not able to figure this one
out! How do I restore the DTS package which has been stored into a
..dts file?

Please help.

Thank you in advance,

-Umar.I think what you want to know is this:

Right-click on the "Data Transformation Services" FOLDER icon and select
"Open Package..." from the options. This brings up a dialog box to hunt for
your DTS file(s).
