Hello,
SAS VIYA Version LTS 2023.03
I am trying to automate a file download from the FTP but none of the methods I tried worked. The file I am trying to download is csv format and about 4Mb. In all the SAS tests, the connection to the server is successful (so, user and password are correct) and I also connected to that server using WinSCP and downloaded the file manually. Unfortunately, I let the SAS codes running more than 10min and because no results I stopped them manually. The 3 SAS codes I tried are below. I also added the SAS logs (the the logs are almost the same). I linked some of the SAS notes to http://support.sas.com/kb/57/165.html
Thank you for your help.
