Solution

  • first try this command.

    hadoop fs -ls /

    if it is listing out the local file system files.(not hdfs),then try

    hadoop fs -ls hdfs://IP-ADDRESS-of your-machine/

    now copy your file to hdfs by

    hadoop fs -copyFromLocal /Documents/file  hdfs://Ip-addressofyourmachine/above result path
