Why don't you use WinSCP or similar open source FTP if you just want to copy files. If your using SAS to import/export file then I don't this image file can be handled by SAS.

file name

expfile ref ftp  "& file.xls"  cd= path

When I am copying file to this location , its getting corrupted as the Xls file 1st tab has image file in it, please let me know if I can Use ODS to read the Image file. Thank you.

You have to make sure that the SFTP client is set to binary mode, so that no changes are made to the file.

SFTP code working fine but Image Xls file is getting copied to destination web  server, but XLS file getting corrupted as   it couldn't read imagetab.

If the image is not embedded, but only linked to, you need to embed it before you transfer the file.
