Re: UTL_FILE_DIR failed on network drive ...

...additionally, i found that if you run Oracle under a user who has network privs, they have to be logged into NT as well whilst you are performing your UTL_FILE. Alternatively, use the UNC file convention (e.g \\machine\share\file)

Metalink will explain more, havent got the Doc ID to hand though.
