I planned a simulation work with R that return a huge collection of dataframes of different sizes and assign the collection to a "list object" for easier manipulation. The task require the usage of hpc servers. Please how can I save the"list object" as .csv, .txt or any other external file format for a usage in my personal computer?
I Googled "R list save csv" and found the Stackoverflow answer linked below.

You could simply use save(...) or save.image(...) to save your list object as rdata file. Then, you can download this file from your server and load it into the current R work space of your computer (function load(...)).
I would save each of the dataframes in the list individually as a table, like with:
for (item in names(L)) write.csv( file=paste("List item",item), L[[item]] )
(L is the list of dataframes)
@Pilipp: the aim is to save the data in a format that can be read with other programs, so save()-functions are not a solution.
@Philipp answer works for me as i am not using other program to read the data.
I just came across this question because i was looking for the same. This worked for me.
setwd("C:/user/bla/mypath")
saveRDS(mylist, file = "MYLIST.Rds")
