Not able to upload files to hdfs No such file or directory

Question

Hi. I am trying to upload a file from local file system to hdfs. I am using the below command for this:

hadoop fs -put sample1

But I am getting the below error:

put: 'sample1': No such file or directory

But this file exists here. Output of ls command:

$ ls
Docs    Finance    readme.txt     sample1.txt

Answer 1

The reason for this error is that you are missing the file extension. The file name is samepl1.txt but you are using sample1. Try the below command, it should work:

hdfs fs -put sample1.txt
