SQL> create directory soruce_dir as '/u01/app/oracle/source';

create target directory object


SQL> create directory target_dir as  '/u01/app/oracle/target';

Now use the copy_file procedure of dbms_file_transfer package as below

 dbms_file_transfer.copy_file (
 source_directory_object => 'source_dir',
 destination_directory_object => 'dest_dir',
 source_file_name => 'my_file_to_copied',
 destination_file_name => 'my_file_to_copied');
end;

Note that the file that needs to be copied over can’t be larger than 2 terabytes and each file’s size has to be a multiple of 512 bytes.
