You are experiencing two separate problems here     hduser ubuntu  usr local hadoop  hadoop fs -put  usr local input-data   input put   usr local input-data  Permission denied    Here  the user hduser does not have access to the local directory  usr local input-data  That is  your local permissions are too restrictive  You should change it     hduser ubuntu  usr local hadoop  sudo bin hadoop fs -put  usr local input-data   inwe put  org apache hadoop security AccessControlException  Permission denied  user root  access WRITE  inode    hduser supergroup rwxr-xr-x   Here  the user root  since you are using sudo  does not have access to the HDFS directory  input  As you can see  hduser supergroup rwxr-xr-x says only hduser has write access  Hadoop doesn t really respect root as a special user     To fix this  I suggest you change the permissions on the local data   sudo chmod -R og rx  usr local input-data    Then  try the put command again as hduser

I had similar situation and here is my approach which is somewhat different    HADOOP USER NAME hdfs hdfs dfs -put  root MyHadoop file1 txt     What you actually do is you read local file in accordance to your local permissions but when placing file on HDFS you are authenticated like user hdfs  You can do this with other ID  beware of real auth schemes configuration but this is usually not a case    Advantages    Permissions are kept on HDFS  You don t need sudo  You don t need actually appropriate local user  hdfs  at all  You don t need to copy anything or change permissions because of previous points

Start a shell as hduser  from root  and run your command  sudo -u hduser bash hadoop fs -put  usr local input-data   input    update  Also note that the hdfs user is the super user and has all r w privileges
