Transferring a SAS File between Computers

You can use either of these methods to make a SAS file available for access at the target computer:

NFS (Network File Services) to mount the file on the network for operating environment access. See the documentation for NFS and for your operating environment.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) services to copy a file in binary format to a specific target operating environment. For an FTP example, see Example: Using FTP to Transfer Foreign Files and Transport Files.

CAUTION:

A foreign file must be transferred in BINARY format.
