So when you use the mount command to mount your drive, unmder //mnt/ there
should be a directory for your disk drive to access the files. That is usually
what happens. Is this not happening for you?

Subject: [program-l] reading/writing USB data in Linux?
Hey guys,
So I've been using Linux a lot lately; VMs at home and work, the Raspberry Pi,
but I've never been able to figure out how to save files to a USB drive, or
open existing files stored in a USB drive. I've done plenty of Googlework, and
apparently there is this concept called "mounting" involved, but I haven't been
able to dig up a clear explanation of what it is, how it works, if/when it is
required, which Linux distros require it, etc. etc. etc. I've tried running a
few commands from Stack Overflow posts, and they don't throw errors or
anything, but they don't work either; and again, explanation is scarce. Maybe
there's a "man usb" or something? :D
So what is a super-simple thing in Windows is advanced cryptography in Linux
apparently... has anyone here ever managed to launch this rocket? lol thanks
