title: How to access files on UNIX server from a laptop running Windows and R?
body: <p>In work all my data files are on UNIX server. Usually I use SSH client (such as PUTTY) on my Windows laptop to transfer data files from UNIX server to my laptop first and then run R locally to do analysis. </p>
  
  <p>The question is if it's possible to use R directly access files on UNIX server. I understand that R can go to a URL and fetch data. Can I do the same to my UNIX server? If yes how?</p>
  
  <p>Many Thanks!</p>
