Bulk Copy Program

Hi Techies,

I have a bcp which generates .txt file perfectly. I just wanted to know how can i generate a text file in distributed environment.

Assuming that my Sql Server is running in machine A. I wanted the bcp to generate in Machine B. What are the permission's i should give in order to generate it in Machine B.

Regards
--Tanveerthe user who executes the bcp-command would need write access. read access is usually handy to validate the file has been written but I don't think its required. In case machine B only has a filesystem, that user obviously needs filesystem write access. In case machine B is a sqlserver that user would need write access on the table the file is insert into.|||Thanks for the reply... I guess i have not mentioned that the above program would be executed through stored procedure. In this scenario what are the permission i should give and to which users.

--Tanveer|||Assuming bcp and the copy is executed using xp_cmdshell, the user is the user configured to run sqlserver (exec master..xp_cmdshell 'set'). If it's local user (only known to the server) you'll find it difficult to do the windows-copy. If it's a domain user it'll be easier to grant the write access. Do you have difficulty creating the .txt file using the stored procedure?
