Hi, Using filename ftp I have tried the following. The intention was to copy the dataset stpsale between the two servers. filename indir ftp '/home/users/myfolder/Mada' DIR host="server_name" user="user" pass='password'; filename outdir ftp ' ' DIR FILEEXT host="1.11.111.1" port=2222 user='user2' pass='password2'; data _null_; infile indir(stpsale) truncover; input; file outdir(stpsale); put _infile_; run; The code above returns error on both indir and outdir. The test using filename socket below show that the port 2222 is already used (because the Stunnel is running on localhost on port 2222) but I didn't know how to continue from this point filename local socket ':2222' server; data tcpip; infile local eov=v; input x $10; if v=1 then do; put 'new connection received'; end; output; run; At the moment call system below returns the error "ERROR: Shell escape is not valid in this SAS session." (but I'm running on SAS EG and I think changes are required in SAS MC to solve this error) data _null_; call system('dir /w'); run; Thank you for your help. Regards, Mada ... View more

Hi,   Thank you so much for your answer.  I know I can use the x cmd which would probably work ok in the dev environment but in prod environment x cmd are disabled. This is the reason why I tried filename ftp and socket.    Thank you, Mada1  ... View more
