title: hadoop fs operations file not found
body: <p>I installed and configured hadoop recently on my ubuntu 12.04 operated machine. The installation was successful and I am able to start all services successfully.
  I am facing problem with hadoop fs . I think I have set it up correctly since hadoop fs is not giving any error like command not found. I am facing error while doing any operation with hadoop fs like ls, put, copyFromLocal.</p>
  
  <p>Every operation ends up in showing <code>No such file or directory</code> error though being provided with valid path. 
  Please help me solve this.</p>
