I have this task in my project where i am asked to move "csv" files between directories on an FTP server using SAS. I know that "x-commands" will do it but i am not allowed to use these commands since they can harm the system !! therefore i am in need to know if there is another solution which will help me do so.

by the way , SAS is installed on Unix Server.
FTP server is on Novell OS.

Hi,

You could take a look at the FILENAME FTP access method.
