Using JMP I can connect to the SAS server. See attached image.

How do I connect to the same server from Base SAS 9.2 and access the files in the server?

options metaserver=localhost metaport=8561 metauser="sasdemo" metapass='XXX'  metarepository=Foundation;

The line you have will connect you to the metadata server just like JMP.   Accessing files from Base SAS would require a drive to be mapped to your compute tier or filesever where your programs reside.  If you have access to EG you can use EG to access files on a remote system.

My company has provided me with SAS Metadata Server username/password and EG to connect to. But I don't want to use EG. I can connect to this server from JMP.

I am using SAS 9.2. How do I connect to the server from SAS 9.2?
