Yep, i hear what you are saying but the Oracle tools (DBMS_LOB etc) are all SERVER side and the file needs to be on the Oracle Server for them to work.
You can either write something Java based to do it or to do the copy from Client to Server.

There is a picture component in Forms which can load an image from the database to the client form, not sure if it is supported in the version of forms you use though.
