Nifi ListFile Processor

[#1]

Hello guys,

I'm having trouble passing the input directory in configuration of ListFile Processor.

Says that directory is invalid or does not exist.

I want' to list files in my local file system in C drive and the folder is SNIRH.

Here is the pic:

Thanks

Make sure there are no blank spaces in front of the directory path in the property.

@Francisco Pires

What about in front of your directory property value "C:\SNIRH"?

Can you attach a template of this configured processor?

Here is the template @Matt Clarke

@Francisco Pires

What version of Windows are you using?

@Wynner

I'm using Windows 8.1 with virtualbox 5.0 running Cent OS 7

@Francisco Pires

Did you share the C: drive with the CentOS 7 VM? Also, when the mapping for a local drive in CentOS will not be in the windows format, it will be more like a CentOS drive, so it will look like /cdrive or whatever name you give it when you configure it in VirtualBox.

If you put that path, /media/sf_SharedFolder, in the Input Directory property for the ListFile processor, does it get a listing of files?

I'm a bit confused. I have a shared folder yes, but it's not C: drive. It's a folder between CentOS and my local file system (Windows). From what i understood, if i put the files in my shared directory i just have to pass that path to the nifi processor in a CentOS way. What i'm confusing now is the HDFS and my sharefolder. Suppose i wan't to have that folder visible in my HDFS it is possible? (Example, in hive instead of picking the file from local, picking the file form HDFS path)
