Use NFS/CIFS/similar protocol to mount remote directory appearing as local. Then this directory appears as local to the database. This means you don't need to do anything special on the DB side. Just create the directory object as usual, the operating system is responsible for actually moving files back and forth. If you use NFS, it's best to use "hard" option to prevent strange database behaviour when remote machine becomes unresponsible.

All Oracle databases are set up the same--therefore, a new DBA knows where to look for certain files in specific places. The Unix System Administration creates an Oracle DBA account. That account is allowed to create directories under an Oracle/database designated section only.
