Hi Sergei,

The best way to copy oracle across machines is :-

NFS mount the source machines directory where oracle files exists , in to the destination machine. U need to put the entry on the /etc/fstab or /etc/vfstab depending the unix that u use.
This way u can avoid doing ftp and the files can be copied with out any problem.

Thanks
