That's why I don't have access to the labs. So what I did was download cloudera virtual box to practice spark and hadoop codes. However, some exercises require uploading files such as datasets using FTP.</P><P>I tried using FileZilla to connect to the VM and upload the files to the VM, but it didn't work connecting using the VM's IP address.</P><P>I'm a beginner with these tools, could anyone help me with how to put these files in the VM?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>See below what I need to do:</P><P>1. Download the Hadoop-mapreduce-example.jar file and wordcount.txt file</P><P>2. Log in to the FTP using the username and password from the lab and upload the file</P><P>3. Log in to the Webconsole using the username and password from the lab and create a new directory demo in HDFS using the mkdir command</P><P>4. Push the wordcount.txt file into the directory using the put command</P><P>5. Execute the command to move the Hadoop-mapreduce-example.jar file to the HDFS directory</P><P>6. View the files in the Output folder with the part files</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Without FTP I don't execute tasks 2 and 4.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Please, help me!</P> Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:43:18 GMT https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/How-to-upload-files-to-cloudera-virtual-box/m-p/364573#M239195 Leodata 2026-04-21T07:43:18Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/How-to-upload-files-to-cloudera-virtual-box/m-p/364606#M239197 <OL><LI><P>Go to the settings of your VM and click on "Shared Folders".
