upload files from local computer to sandbox

Replies: 0

Hi, I am new to Hadoop and HDP so please forgive my basic question. I am trying to load a text file from my local computer to the HDP 1.3 Sandbox VM. I am trying to use PIG to do this. Here is the command:

fs -copyFromLocal file://c:\temp\REST_Log.txt hdfs://sandbox:8020/user/hue/

The error I am getting is here:

copyFromLocal: Can not create a Path from an empty string

So my question is how can I format my command to make this work? Is PIG the right thing to use to do this? Is there some other way I can accomplish this?

My end goal is to create a script that will pull CSV files from a network path and load them into HDFS on my sandbox.

Thanks for your help and time!!
