How to create a variable in env.rb or hook.rb and call in cucumber feature ?

Thank you in advance for help.

I am trying to create variable in env.rb 

File_path =("#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/../../features/TestData/Testdata.html")

and call File_path in the Cucumber feature directly.

for example
...
And I upload a file from path "<File_path>"
...

Is the is a better way of doing this ?

Yes, there's a better way.

In your feature text, use meaningful names instead of file paths.

For example, any of these, depending on your goal:

And I upload a file of test data 

And I upload my web page

And I upload some previously saved information

Then put the file path in your step file.

In general, feature descriptions should be plain language, not source code, file paths, env vars, etc
