I'm not sure that you understand the concept of BCP. BCP works from the command line (DOS or xp_cmdshell or whatever). You connect to a specific server not multiple servers. If you want to BCP out a query then you specify the query and use the queryout option. In that query you can use linked servers as long as they are setup on the specific server that you connected to. If you want to BCP in data to a linked server then why not just connect to that server rather than to the wrong one?

Have fun,
