Below a demo of what it's possible now (notice that I didn't perform any =
installation or configuration before executing the following =
statements). On my opinion non difficult at all...
- connect via SQL*Plus and create a view MYFTP
linux:oracle:A1010 /u00/app/oracle> sqlplus system/manager
[snip version information, in my case 10.1.0.3.0]
SQL> create or replace view myftp as
2 select * from resource_view where under_path(res,'/public')>0;
View created.
SQL> select * from myftp;
no rows selected
SQL> exit
- connect via FTP to the database (authentication performed with DB =
account), change directory and upload a file
linux:oracle:A1010 /u00/app/oracle> ftp linux 2100
Connected to linux.cha.trivadis.com.

# This file is used by ORACLE utilities. It is created by root.sh

# A colon, ':', is used as the field terminator. A new line terminates
# the entry. Lines beginning with a pound sign, '#', are comments.
#
# Entries are of the form:
# $ORACLE_SID:$ORACLE_HOME:<N|Y>:
#
# The first and second fields are the system identifier and home
# directory of the database respectively. The third filed indicates
# to the dbstart utility that the database should , "Y", or should not,
# "N", be brought up at system boot time.

# Multiple entries with the same $ORACLE_SID are not allowed.
