[#1]

Hi , Let we have 3 server Server-A window server(CSV file placed in D drive) , Server-B( nifi installed on this server ) , Server-C Hadoop Installed on server

Question :

we want to transfer /Fetch file from window (server-A) to server-C using nifi without mounting the window directory

is it possible or we need to mount file ?

how ?

Thanks in advance

So if I am understanding this correctly, you want to do the following:

Windows Files Share ----> NiFi -----> Hadoop

Off the top of my head I can think of a couple ways to do it.

1) Setup the Windows directory to share via FTP. This can be done using IIS on the Windows machine, or a 3rd party FTP server

2) Install MiNiFi or NiFi on the Windows machine to transmit data using site-to-site protocol to the NiFi Cluster

Is there a particular reason you don't want to mount the share to the NiFi host?
