Suhas,
I'm not sure I understood:) If you mean you're trying to write out to a disk file on server that you don't have access (since I don't know how to use bcp):

-I would go with a C# assembly marking it unsafe that would write the file out and add it as a procedure (IOW a C# based procedure in SQL server).
-Try SQL2008 which has the capability of specifying external path for image storage rather than in database itself. Files would be already on the disk and there are ways accessing lowlevel (SQL2008 docs detail how to do).

If it's not about writing files on to disk on server than you could do it with SPT,ADO. Since the code I pointed didn't help I assume you mean writing the file out to disk on server.
