The internal format of Windows and Unix SAS datasets is not the same so file copies wont work. The method mentioned by @ChrisBrooks is one way. Check out this guide to the moving and transporting of SAS files for a comprehensive list of all of the methods: http://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=movefile&docsetTarget=movefilewhatsnew94.htm&docsetVersion=9....
