##tblTemp invisible for bcp

I did create #tblTemp on sql but can not use it with "outside" bcp routine
from command line:
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL ...][SQL Server]Invalid object name '##tblTemp'.
Any idea why?

gokWhy do you want to BCP into a global temp table? If you are already in tsql
then why not use Bulk Insert instead? Not that I am recommending you use
temp tables but at least Bulk Insert can see a local temp table.

the idea was to give client copy of bcp.exe and he will post data from his
machine to sql. In BULK INSERT I have to use shared folder to import data
from file, otherwise this file still "invisible" for sql (I was trying query
analyzer on non-sql machine).
What would be a correct way to append data from file?

a client direct permission to import a file with BCP to my production
server. Why not have them FTP it to a secure folder on your server or
somewhere the server can get to it. Then use Bluk Insert to load it.

Right now I dont see any advantages to use bcp (so BULK INSERT) to upsize
data: it is not secure, it cannt handle table relations and creating temp
tables on sql side has no benefits either. Better lets bring those tree-like
data directly to dbase and make sql to do all quality control checks!
