Using WEBHDFS REST API calls can i transfer or copy the files from Windows machine(i.e. windows server or windows local folder or desktop) to Hadoop-HDFS file system?
If yes any sample command info?
I have tried and i was able to do using
Windows->(using ftp)-> Linux directory -> (using webhdfs) -> HDFS and this is two step process and i am looking for one step process directly from Windows -> (webhdfs) -> HDFS.
I referred in https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r1.0.4/webhdfs.html for helpful info also.
Example : if my file is in E:\user\accounts.txt and i want to move this file to HDFS /user/kumar/ folder using webhdfs.
Currently what i am doing is
Step-1) ftp accounts file from Windows to linux directory.
Step-2) running curl commands to move the file from linux machine to HDFS folders.
Any suggestion to do it in one step process?
Step-1) Windows -> HDFS using webhdfs in one step.
We can copy files from windows file system to HDFS by using scp command.
scp source_file_name user@/path/file_name
and also we can achieve this by using winscp tool. you can install it and establish a connect to hdfs server then files can be transfer.

String dest = args[1];
Console console = System.console();
String username = console.readLine("Username: ");
String password = new String(console.readPassword("Password: "));
String domain = console.readLine("Authentication Domain: ");
NtlmPasswordAuthentication auth = new NtlmPasswordAuthentication(domain, username, password);
SmbFile srcSMB = new SmbFile (src, auth);
InputStream in = new SmbFileInputStream(srcSMB);
Configuration myConf = new Configuration();
FileSystem fs = FileSystem.get(URI.create(dest), myConf);
OutputStream out = fs.create(new Path(dest));
try
{
IOUtils.copyBytes(in, out, 4096, false);
}
catch(IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally
{
IOUtils.closeStream(in);
}
}
}
This code uses JCIFS to copy through smb protocol to HDFS
