Create a program, and then create a job on that program.

An old but valid example here

There are two computers - on the first one is installed Oracle Server, and the second - the user's computer. They are connected by wi-fi. I want that I run Job, which will copy the file from the server computer to the user's computer file. I tried to use the CMD command in the action Executable Job field and created a bat-file, starting both through the action Executable Job and through the Program, as you recommended, but it does not help (How do I implement a file copy from one computer to another?

Name of the user's computer Pilgrim. On this computer there is a share-folder in which I want to copy the file.

The OS account via which the database is running under needs to have the appropriate rights to access/copy/etc the target computer as destination.

But it strikes me as an odd way to achieve this - why push data to the user's machine. Would it not be more efficient to write the file locally, and let the user retrieve it from a shared drive *when* they need it.
