title: How to transfer Oracle dump file to AWS RDS instance?
body: <p>I have an existing <code>.dmp</code> file on EC2 instance which has access to RDS instance running Oracle 11g on AWS.</p>
  
  <p>I have read <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Oracle.Procedural.Importing.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Importing Data in AWS RDS</a>, it seems that AWS does not support this kind of direct transfer.</p>
  
  <p>It does require to have a <code>Source Oracle DB</code> from where you have to create/export a <code>.dmp</code> file which you can then transfer to <code>destination RDS instance</code> by establishing a db link.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, is there a way I can transfer/import my existing <code>.dmp</code> file to the <code>DATA_DUMP_DIR</code> on RDS Instance? </p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
