I need to be able to read a remote table and update a local table.

I have set up the remote database entries and have used connect. What I
cannot find documentation on is how to use 2 files on different machines.

When I connect to system B, all the tables are in system B.

Is there a way to do a select from system B and insert into system A?
Example:

Insert into fileA [on system A] (select * from FileA [on system B] )

TIA
