how did you know that you are going to use sda1?
COMMAND IS : MKDIR /MNT/USB1 && sudo mount /dev/sda1 && clear && cd /MNT/USB1
Very nice tutorial! But wouldn’t you need root to view the drive? Thanks. 5/5
sudo chmod u+x /path/to/directory
Techanvil you are doing a good job
please i need a way to access or give permission on directory
you seem nice! thanks for the help!
Or even sudo.
If it’s a *server* we’re talking about, it’s probably much easier to use an sftp program to transfer the files. (Of course, the sftp method works for networked clients as well)
It should also noted that the directory can be created at any place in the directory structure.
Unplugging a flashdrive without unmounting it is not a good idea since some data sometimes are waiting to be written until you unmount it.
well it mounted thery my hard disk so what shall i DO?
If you are using the GUI, it is in the menue tree under Terminal. If it boots up to a black screen with white text, and a login prompt, the command line is what you get after you put in you password.
Where’s the commandline?
Good point. For the series, we have been logged into Fedora as root. Some time in the near future, I will need to discuss why that is a bad thing. Thanks for commenting!
Given that this is targetted at Linux newbies, it should probably mention the need to “su” to root first.
