SFTP alternate method in SAS

[SAS_PA1]

Do we have any alternate method in SAS instead of USing SFTP in SAS

filename my data sftp "/Dir/RPTS/qtr/&CSV_file"
host="hostname" user="username";

Alternative for what purpose? If your files are destined for SFTP (or coming from there), I think that's your protocol.  If it's not Secure FTP, then you could use the simpler FILENAME FTP -- no certificates to manage.

If your files are available via web service, there's PROC HTTP as a way to fetch them.

Use SAS/CONNECT and PROC UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD to transfer files between two SAS servers.
