Getting an error while using exp utility

can you connect with sql plus using the same connection parameters?
what settings?

Hi

Thanks for quick response.
Yes, I can connect with sql plus using the same connection parameters.

Please give us some more information:

1. Are you running exp on the server, or from a client? (Running it on the server will generally work best.)
2. Which version of Oracle is the database?
3. What is your server's operating system?
4. Does the server have just one Oracle_home (installation of Oracle software) or multiple?

Can u post the exact command you are using to export???
Some parameter has been provided wrongly.. That could be the reason.. The actual command would be a lot helpful..

I am running exp from a client.
Oracle 8i database and server's operating system is Red Hat and we have just one Oracle_home.

I am trying to use interactive mode export. when I type exp it prompted me to enter username , I entered that it prompted me to enter password  but I am unable to enter password becuase I cursor is not moving and I am not able to type anything.

why dont u try something like this..

exp <user>/<password>@<connection string>

the rest of the parameters could be passed interactivelty.. i guess the error occurs as u are running the exp command from client but providing the database to which it should connect..
