Answer 1

Get the directory path
select directory_path from all_directories where directory_name='MOUNT_DIR'
Check if this path exists on database server and oracle has read access to it.
Check if the file 'test02.txt' exits in this path and is accessible.
Give grants to this directory
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY MOUNT_DIR TO <some_user>;
And here is something interesting, how to see files in directory with select, but you should have access to the SYS user.
