Hi, yun:
    In shell, you can use bin/hadoop dfs -ls to list directory.
    If you want to access dfs in your code, you need write code as
following:

Configuration conf = new Configuration();
FileSystem fs = get (conf);

    And then, you can access file system through fs. Refer java doc for more
details.

Regards.
