https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/Prevent-Users-to-download/m-p/65713#M14275 Hi All,<BR /> <BR /> Is there any option/condition to prevent SAS user(s) to download SAS datasets from Unix Server to local desktop? Thanks.

They could also use PC tools to create a list of SAS datasets on the PC and then use SAS to open each to see if it came from Unix. That's a bit messier, but saves having to purchase (or compile) the Unix tools.
