Why don't you use WinSCP or similar open source FTP if you just want to copy files. If your using SAS to import/export file then I don't this image file can be handled by SAS.

You have to make sure that the SFTP client is set to binary mode, so that no changes are made to the file.

If the image is not embedded, but only linked to, you need to embed it before you transfer the file.
