Backing Up File Systems With Hierarchical Structure Using SAS/CONNECT

Overview SAS programmers' routinely backup data files between local and remote systems to avoid loss of data. People also back up data files regularly from development systems where files are purged periodically. However, SAS procedures UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD do not easily handle situations where data and program files are stored in a hierarchical structure. This paper introduces a recursive technique to transfer files and directories stored in a hierarchical structure between a local host and a remote host by extending the use of UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD procedures in SAS/CONNECT software.
