Hi
I have some issues using the syntax LSA in the SFTP procedure.
Untill now i have used the syntax below and it has worked fine.
filename local '***************************' LRECL = 2000;
filename SFTP SFTP '/'
DIR FILEEXT LSA
HOST = '***.**.***.**'
USER = '**********'
WAIT_MILLISECONDS = 5000
LRECL = 2000
OPTIONS = '-P ** -i \\*****.*** -pw "*******"'
DEBUG
I have manged to transfer files from the SFTP library SFTP to my own library local, using the following syntax.
data _null_;
infile SFTP ('&SFTP_FILE') truncover;
input;
file local (&LOCAL_FILE');
Put _infile_;
run;
But how do i use SAS to get an exact overview of all the files that are located in the library SFTP. I have read that i can use the LSA and LS syntax but I cant really get it to work.
Please help 🙂
Kind regards Frederik.
I recieved the following solution from Bruno that works perfectly, thought I would share it:

The follwoing code works for me. It will list all the files from the root directory to the SAS Log. You will need to adapt it to your needs.
filename xsas ftp cd="/" host="machine" user="myuser" pass="mypass" list debug;
data _null_;
infile xsas;
input;
putlog _infile_;
run;
Please send also the log
