Hi folks,<br />
<br />
Soon I'll need to bcp some text files from a Linux box to SQL Server 2005. &nbsp;I'm wondering if it's simply a matter of pointing the SQL bcp import script to the IP address of the Linux box or is it more involved? &nbsp;<br />

Soon I'll need to bcp some text files from a Linux box to SQL Server 2005.  I'm wondering if it's simply a matter of pointing the SQL bcp import script to the IP address of the Linux box or is it more involved?  

Thanks in advance.
