How to connect to a Unix server using R Script

Hello,

 

I am new in term of using R Script to import data into Power BI.  I would like to connect to our Unix Server by providing either the server name or its ip address, my username, my password and of course the path location of the folder I am interested to interrogate.

 

Thereafter, I would like to read a sas dataset into PB, then continue my work

Hello, 

 

R is already installed on my  computer.  What I need is to get a good script that will permit me to first connect to our Unix server, go into the good folder, then read / import the SAS dataset into Power BI.  Up to now, I was able to read a SAS dataset hosted on my PC but I need to do the same task from our Unix server by providing the required information to connect to it, i.e. (server name or ip address, username, password, folder path)
