This happens when you have files with space. Linux doesn't recognize spaces in their filenames. So, if you want to move those files, you first have to remove those spaces and then execute. Also, it is always recommended to not have space in Linux.

hadoop fs -copyFromLocal /home/hduser/Pictures/Eventordering/* input/

You need to represent Space as %20, i.e.

Event ordering -> Event%20ordering

try 

hadoop fs -copyFromLocal /my/local/dir/Event%20ordering/* input/

It will work.
