I'm trying to SFTP files(SAS datasets or tokens) from one server to another server in SAS

Question

This is first time I\'m trying to SFTP files using SAS.I tried using filename statement but getting some errors.

%let _user=userid;
  filename source sftp \'         


        

Answer 1

the SFTP Filename engine does not have a password parameter. SAS recommends using public key authentication.

You can use the optionsx='-pw "YourP@ssw0rd!"' option, if you need to supply a password. optionsx will XXX out the values in the Log.
