Hi,

With my knowledge, I think xport or cport would only work for datasets
and not for non-sas files.

You could use pull or push method to transfer files from Unix to Windows
environment.

If you want to use push method from Unix, then you could create a shell
file to SFTP files from Unix to Win, and then execute this shell from
your SAS either using system() function or X command.

If you want to use pull method from Win, then create a .exe file /
application and execute the same from SAS, again using either system()
or X command.

Thanks,
Kiran
