Usage Note 1632: Using the FTP access method with SAS/GRAPH® device drivers
 |  |  |  |
You can use the FTP access method in a FILENAME statement with SAS/GRAPH device drivers as long as the FILENAME statement references a specific file, as opposed to a directory location. If you attempt to use the FTP access method in a FILENAME statement that refers to a directory location, the following error messages will appear in the SAS® Log:
Invalid reply received for the STOR command.
Unable to open graphics device.
Unable to initialize graphics device.
Unable to open graphics device.
Unable to initialize graphics device.
Here is an example of using the FTP access method in a FILENAME statement with SAS/GRAPH:
ods _all_ close;
ods listing;
filename grafout ftp 'directory-location/filename.png'
host='host-name' user='userid' recfm=s prompt
debug;
ods listing;
filename grafout ftp 'directory-location/filename.png'
host='host-name' user='userid' recfm=s prompt
debug;
goptions reset=goptions device=png gsfname=grafout gsfmode=replace;
<your graphics procedure code goes here>
run;
quit;
quit;
filename grafout clear;
