If you are using ssh then you could do something like : 'ssh <user>@<host> <command>' In this command is for instance your sqlldr command, or a script which handles the sqlldr stuff. So I think: 1 - make the data-input-file available to the server by nfs 2 - run the script on the client which a - starts a sqlldr script on the server-side by ssh (ssh <user>@<host> <script> or b - start the sqlldr on the server by ssh (ssh <user>@<host> <sqlldr command> ahum...you do need to distribute the public key onde to the server then. best regards, Martijn -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
