Looks like the server is not able to access the mentioned directory path. Do an xp_cmdshell ‘dir \..’ to see if ou can see the files in the directory. ***********************

To addup Dinakar’s reply:
Ensure to check the path/filename is correct or not, referred file exist or not and ensre file is not open by some other app. Also ensure relevant account running this BCP has relevant access privileges on that share. Satya SKJ
