You can use either:

NiFi for this case by using

List+Fetch File[Sftp] processors and use PutHDFS processor


(or)


Try using hadoop distcp to copy local files into HDFS as described in this thread.

(or)

If your directory have a lot of files in it then it would be much more faster if you tar (or) zip the files and then run copyFromLocal command.
