Setting up WinSCP to access SAS Studio files

mdtr31 — Sat, 07 Mar 2020 19:05:49 GMT

Hi everyone,

Would you please guide me how to set up WinSCP to access my SAS Studio files? I could do that with SAS Studio through WRDS, but for this one (i.e. https://odamid-usw2.oda.sas.com/SASStudio/) I am not sure what the following parameters are. Host name, Port number, and File protocol (SFTP, SCP, FTP, or WebDav).

Thank you!

Hi:
When you use SAS OnDemand for Academics, you are accessing SAS usually via SAS Studio on our cloud server. SAS Studio has the ability to upload and download files into your home folder. I am not sure that you can get to your files any other way except through the upload/download capabilities built into SAS Studio.

This would be a question for Tech Support. I do not believe you will be able to get a host name and port number for the OnDemand server.

Thank you for your reply. It could not find the host and gave me the "timeout" error.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, but since downloading & uploading "folders" are not allowed, it would be a painful procedure to download files one by one manually, especially if one needs to have a local back up.
