I would like to create file in a remote directory using a UTL_FILE package from a procedure.
How is it possible?
If I want to give the remote directory name in the UTL_FILE_DIR parameter in the init.ora file,what settings do i need to do ?

Do you mean directory on a remote server? You have to follow some steps to actually create a file using UTL_FILE. You can get those steps from PL/SQL sample code from Oracle.com. U have to set the directory and file permissions to 777. ( chmod 777 /dir /dir/fname ).
I've not tried as to how I would transfer the file to remote directory, but I would either use DBLink or rcp that file from a Unix shell script.

Yes,the directory is in a remote server.And I want tro create a file directly on that remote directory.
I know there is a way to create the file locally and ftp to that server.But I am trying to create it directly on that server..
I would appreciate some help on this..
Thanks,
