@Mariano Gastaldi That seems strange but maybe explicable just because you have no hdfs client software on your laptop if you want to copy from your laptop unless its part of the cluster e.g an edge node then I don't see how you will succeed. What's happening is you don't have the Hadoop client libraries installed usually if you want to interact with the cluster you install the client software like hdfs,YARN,sqoop,hbase clients etc. Despite having an ubuntu or Linux based client there is no way you can copy those files unless you copy using something like WinSCP to your /home/analyst1 or /tmp in your home directory on a node which is part of the cluster !!!! then and ONLY then can you run the hdfs command from your local directory and not encounter "Unable to load native-hadoop library for your platform " $ hdfs dfs -copyFromLocal file_to_copy.txt hdfs://server1:9000/testing.txt For the below the directory /user/analyst1 should be pre-created with the correct permissions for user analyst1 $ hdfs dfs -copyFromLocal sfile_to_copy.txt /user/analyst1 Another solution is to deploy HDP standalone cluster then remove all the other components and copy the hdfs-site.xml and core-site.xml to your local laptop and initiate the connection. Hope that helps
