15                  host='10.12.81.251'
16                  user='dhh\bjiang02' pass=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX recfm=v;
17         data _null_;
18         file x;
19          do i=1 to 10;
20               put i=;
21            end;
22
23         run;

ERROR: Physical file does not exist, test.dat.

1) Make sure you have write access to the directory by using some
other FTP tool to create a file there.
2) Getting rid of the CD=3D option and including the path in the quoted
filename.
3) Your error message mentions Windows perhaps you need to use \
instead of / in your path.
