    Hdfs dfs –cp /user/cloudera/dir1/file1 /user/cloudera/dir3/


    Hdfs dfs –ls /user/cloudera/dir3/

    Ls –ltr

    hdfs dfs -copyToLocal /user/cloudera/dir3/file3 /home/cloudera/


    ls –ltr

    rm file3

    hdfs dfs -get /user/cloudera/dir3/file3 /home/cloudera/

    hdfs dfs -touchz /user/cloudera/dir3/zeroFile


    hdfs dfs –ls /user/cloudera/dir3/
    hdfs dfs –count /user/cloudera/dir3/

    touchz command creates a file in HDFS with file size


    touchz--
    equals to 0 byte. The directory is the name of the directory
    where we will create the file, and filename is the name of the
    new file we are going to create.

    Hdfs dfs -chmod /user/cloudera/dir3/file1

    How do I change directory permissions in Linux?

    To change directory permissions in Linux, use the following:

     chmod +rwx filename to add permissions

     chmod -rwx directoryname to remove permissions.

     chmod +x filename to allow executable permissions.

     chmod -wx filename to take out write and executable permissions.

    Note that “r” is for read, “w” is for write, and “x” is for execute.

    This only changes the permissions for the owner of the file.

    What are the three permission groups?

    There are three options for permission groups available to you in Linux. These are

     owners: these permissions will only apply to owners and will not affect other
    groups.

     groups: you can assign a group of users specific permissions, which will only
    impact users within the group.

     all users: these permissions will apply to all users, and as a result, they present
    the greatest security risk and should be assigned with caution.

    What are the three kinds of file permissions in Linux?

    There are three kinds of file permissions in Linux:

     Read (r): Allows a user or group to view a file.

     Write (w): Permits the user to write or modify a file or directory.


     Execute (x): A user or grup with execute permissions can execute a file or view a
    directory.

    More ways to manage permissions

    Here's a more comprehensive list of ways you can manage file permissions, groups,
    and ownership beyond the basic commands listed at the top of this guide.

    How to Change Directory Permissions in Linux for the Group Owners and
    Others

    The command for changing directory permissions for group owners is similar, but
    add a “g” for group or “o” for users:

     chmod g+w filename

     chmod g-wx filename

     chmod o+w filename

     chmod o-rwx foldername

    To change directory permissions for everyone, use “u” for users, “g” for group, “o” for
    others, and “ugo” or “a” (for all).

     chmod ugo+rwx foldername to give read, write, and execute to everyone.

     chmod a=r foldername to give only read permission for everyone.

    How to Change Groups of Files and Directories in Linux

    By issuing these commands, you can change groups of files and directories in
    Linux.

     chgrp groupname filename

     chgrp groupname foldername

    Note that the group must exit before you can assign groups to files and directories.

    Changing ownership in Linux

    Another helpful command is changing ownerships of files and directories in Linux:

     chown name filename


     chown name foldername

    These commands will give ownership to someone, but all sub files and directories
    still belong to the original owner.

    You can also combine the group and ownership command by using:

     chown -R name:filename /home/name/directoryname

    Changing Linux permissions in numeric code

    You may need to know how to change permissions in numeric code in Linux, so to
    do this you use numbers instead of “r”, “w”, or “x”.

     0 = No Permission

     1 = Execute

     2 = Write

     4 = Read

    Basically, you add up the numbers depending on the level of permission you want to
    give.

    Permission numbers are:

     0 = ---

     1 = --x

     2 = -w-

     3 = -wx

     4 = r-

     5 = r-x

     6 = rw-

     7 = rwx

    For example:
     chmod 777 foldername will give read, write, and execute permissions for
    everyone.

     chmod 700 foldername will give read, write, and execute permissions for the
    user only.

     chmod 327 foldername will give write and execute (3) permission for the user, w
    (2) for the group, and read, write, and execute for the users.
