Re: Export/Import

The FTP in binary mode fixed my problem, but now I have a new problem. When I try to import I get error messages stating that it cannot create the database files and tablespaces. It is trying to use the AIX directory structure. What do I need to do so that it will successfully import into my production NT 4 box?

Regards,
Tim
