Moving and Accessing SAS Files across Operating Environments

File Transfer

Transfer is the process of conveying a file between hosts across a network. Various third-party products are available for performing this operation. In this book, we use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to illustrate the transfer operation.

You perform a transfer operation either by:

pushing a file from the source host, use the FTP put command to copy a file from the source host to the target host.

pulling a file from the target host,use the FTP get command to copy a file from the source host to the target host.

Your ability to push a file from the source to the target host may depend on your permission to write to the target host. For complete details, see your network documentation.
