Permission denied while uploading files to hdfs

Question

I am trying to upload a file to hdfs, but it gives an error message: "Permission Denied". I changed the permissions of the file but no use. How can I solve this?

Answer 1

It is not the problem about permission of that file. Seems like you can not set the properties right. Write these line to hdfs-site.xml

<property>
  <name>dfs.permissions</name>
  <value>false</value>
</property>

It should work.
