What is your location and dest_dir parameters set to? Are they directory names located in all_directories??

Both servers are windows machines. Source is 2003 and dest is 2008. I mapped the drive on source and using utl_file.fcopy, but receiving an error. My question is: is it even possible to move a file via utl_file package between two servers? Thanks, Eugene
