Once the file has been corrupted, there is no way to fix it. Hopefully you have a copy of the dmp file in another location on the Unix box that you can use to FTP in binary mode. If not, you must export the data again and then perform the proper FTP of the data to NT.

He didn't know that it supposed to be done in BINARY mode. Now, he ftp'ed the dmp file back to UNIX in ASCII mode and tried doing the import. Looks like dmp file has been corrupted and Import is giving the following error. IMP-00020: long column too large for column buffer size (22) IMP-00028: partial import of previous table rolled back: 16380 rows rolled back/ Is there any way to fix the dmp file. Any ideas? I searched the metalink and looks like there is no way to correct it. It is on HP-UX and oracle 8.1.7.4 I appreciate your help. Thanks.
