title: Transfer file out from HDFS
body: <p>I want to transfer files out from HDFS to local filesystem of a different server which is not in hadoop cluster but in the network. </p>
  
  <p>I could have done: </p>
  
  <pre><code>hadoop fs -copyToLocal &lt;src&gt; &lt;dest&gt;
  and then scp/ftp &lt;toMyFileServer&gt;.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As the data is huge and due to limited space on local filesystem of hadoop gateway machine, I wanted to avoid this and sent data directly to my file server.</p>
  
  <p>Please help with some pointers on how to handle this issue.</p>
