Hello,
Yes you can use an asterisk which means any directory path
is available for using UTL_FILE (at least in 7.3). Oracle recommends
you do not do this due to security concerns. You must refer to
the server directory structure not to mapped drives and you must
have the proper permission to create files in the target.
