Hi!

You can use the SAS command

X 'unix command here';

when you run the SAS-program from Unix.

But I would rather use a Unix shell script to control
the SAS-program and issue file transfers etc.

If you have ftp installed on your unix machine
you can probably set up a ftp-script to run ftp batch
from the unix script.

Did that make any sense?
