get: Permission denied

Answer 1

you must go into the desktop directory, open the terminal there and run the command

hadoop fs -get /user/hduser/Input/pg*.txt .

Answer 2

Check out the permissions of this /user/hduser directory, maybe hduser does not have permission to access it, if so then you can execute the following command (as hdfs user)

hdfs dfs chown hduser:hduser /user/hduser

More information about chown here.

then try again.
