I have limited oracle experience

I want to dump a copy of one db and import it into a local oracle server which I'm using for dev.

My problem is that I can't sort out the connect information (user@host:port/SID) type stuff.

I've tried just connecting to the remote db using sqlplus: I get the following
I'm getting a ORA-12504 TNS:listener was not given...

The format I'm using is above, and I think it's wrong.

Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks

You could even start by just typing EXP (or IMP) in the command prompt.
