hello,

I need help with exporting a .txt file from a remote unix server to windows server.

Would proc export does that? Please site an example/point to any existing code if available.

thanks!!

SAS is on Unix. I want to do it in SAS coding only. So finally I need to move a .txt file created on unix server to windows server. Thanks.

I was using proc export and due to file size being very large, unable to get thru.

Proc download can also be used, but not sure if this works for infile/outfile references.
