In order to put data on your HDFS you need to execute some command lines. This link (http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.3.0/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/FileSystemShell.html) is describing what you need and the command should be :

hdfs dfs -put localfile /user/hadoop/hadoopfile

PS : If you want the transfert to be automatic, you could write a bash script

  • A bash script is program write with the bash langage. It allow you to automate some tasks with ease but you have to learn the langage [here](http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html) – Ko2r Jun 12 '14 at 15:40
