This would be clean, but recall he did not want 
to "get into the larger issue of why I have to run it from one server vs.
another."

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! <G>

|| Tom,
|| 
|| Just cogitating and ruminating...........
|| 
|| You mentioned that you're executing the load as part of a larger
|| procedure.  Couldn't you execute a shell script that would 
|| ftp the file
|| to the target server and run sqlldr via rsh -c?  Another 
|| thought would
|| be to have the target file on an NFS-mounted drive that could be
|| accessed by the target and have sqlldr kicked off on the target via a
|| trigger on a simple insert by the source into a 
|| DATA_LOAD_REQUIRED table
|| on the target?
