CONNECTION SFTP ERROR

[dipand]

Hello to all, I have to transfer a file from the sas server to another via SFTP connection. My system administrator installed the private key on the server. I try to run the following code:

filename out sftp "SPM_KPI_HSEQALL_MAY2023.csv" host='XXXXXXX' debug
cd='01_IMPORTED_KPI' user='XXXXX' optionsx='-i  /home/risorse/asea007/.ssh/SPM_PVTK.ppk -pw "XXXXXX"';

data _null_;
infile "/sasgrid/hseq/1_0/SPM_KPI_HSEQALL_MAY2023.csv" recfm=n ;
input x $char1. @@;
file out recfm=s;
put x $char1. @@;
run;

Can you help me figure out if there’s something wrong with the code?

Thank you

And the text of the actual error is?

Need to see the actual error message(s). You may need to provide the log of the entire code as things with libnames that aren't reported as errors sometimes make them unusable for specific tasks.

the error is :

The folder or file doesn't exist.

If I delete the options -pw because  my SAS administrator has installed the key on server , the error that I recieve is:

Error:

Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer

Hi resolved, there was a problem with key authoritazion.

the correct code:

filename out sftp "SPM_KPI_HSEQALL_MAY2023.csv"  host='XXXXXXXXX' debug
cd='01_IMPORTED_KPI' user='XXXXXXXXX' optionsx='-i /home/aaa/.ssh/SPM_PVTK.ppk';

data _null_;
infile "/sasgrid/hseq/1_0/SPM_KPI_HSEQALL_MAY2023.csv" recfm=n ;
input x $char1. @@;
file out recfm=s;
put x $char1. @@;
run;

Than you
