An sftp connection to Bloomberg Datalicense is established. On some Linux systems, this may not work out of the box, as libcurl does not natively support sftp. In that case, you need to compile curl with SFTP support. See here for details: http://askubuntu.com/questions/195545/how-to-enable-sftp-support-in-curl
RblConnect( user, pw, host = "dlsftp.bloomberg.com", port = "30206", protocol = "sftp", verbose = TRUE )
user | The account number assigned by Bloomberg |
---|---|
pw | The password assigned by Bloomberg |
host | The connection host |
port | The connection port |
protocol | The connection protocol |
verbose | logical. Should R report extra information on progress? |
logical. Is the connection succesful?
if (FALSE) { # These are dummy credentials. Replace with the credentials received from Bloomberg RblConnect(user = 'dl000000', pw = '0000000000000000') }
