First of all : stop crossposting
[Quoted] [Quoted] Secondly: read a manual. The export is not copied at all. If you connect to a remote database, you simply issue implicit selects against a remote database instead of a local database. The export is always created locally, rcp or ftp is not involved at all. Please read the Oracle Concepts Manual *urgently* to get a better picture of how Oracle works.
