FTP just transfers the file (either binary or text) to the target OS and that file can not be opened by the Oracle running in the target machine.

Beacuse each OS will have different file formats and Oracle running in differenct OSs will use differnet system calls /APIs to CRUD (Create Replace Update Delete) the files.

Here if you take an NT-oracle data file to Unix oracle , this file is a junk data according to unix-oracle. But if you covert that file to unix format using the tool, your unix-oracle will/can/may read that file and straight away you can open the database..

Hope this clarifiesd the confusion..!!
