I would use sshfs or an alternatively remote file system access. Ssh to your Linux box and then mount the mac os x filesystem via sshfs, or afs for example. Alternatively, can't you copy the data to the Linux box using sftp first?

Thanks Barry and Steve,

I am trying to import data with read.csv and my file is on remote machine. I believe that I need to open a connection, not sure about syntax though.
Probably works with ftp: too. How remote is it?

In fact it is a bit more complicated.
I am working on a Mac machine, from this machine I establish ssh with a Linux machine. I run R on Linux, while all my data files are stored on Mac. So in this case although physically I am using Mac, it is in fact remote. I hope it answers your question.


Thanks again,
Olga
