"some files other than sas tables"
your environment context is not clear

1 if you have two sas working one under windows and a sas unix working
on a server
the solution is

proc download  infile= outfile=  ; in a remote submit context   using
sas connect module

2 without sas upon unix, you have the possibility to use a command ftp
outside sas

3 last but not least, there is a possibility on a network to view inside
your window explorer
a monted view of your unix part of disk ressources and then an easy
copy/paste is enaugh.
but recall you that the end of a record in unix is LF and in windows it
is CR LF.
Perhaps you would need to change this end depending of what you need to
do under sas windows with those files.
