problem with COPY FROM command

Hi,
 I've been trying to copy one table along with its contents from my local
database onto the server using following copy command:

 COPY FROM SCOTT/TIGER_at_localDB.localDomain TO remoteUSER/remotePWD_at_remoteDB.remoteDomain CREATE tableTEMP USING SELECT * FROM table_TEMP

 In turn, I receive following error message:

 ORA-01458: invalid length inside variable character string

 After searching I found following information:  Cause of error: An attempt was made to bind or define a variable character
string with a buffer length less than the two-byte minimum requirement.

 Action: Increase the buffer size or use a different type.

 Please tell how can this be done and I dont have admin rights.  Thanks
