Forum Topic - How to access a USB FLASH Drive?: (2 Items)
   
How to access a USB FLASH Drive?  
I'm looking for some examples of how to connect to and transfer files to and from a USB Flash drive.  I've figured out 
how to detect when the drive is inserted or removed from my system, I just don't were to go next.  I assume that after 
you attach to the device and get a handle you open it and then do reads and writes.  I hope it's that simple. 

Regards,
Mark
Re: How to access a USB FLASH Drive?  
Hi Mark,

does your USB device show up under /fs? If automounting is active, that would be the place to look at. Otherwise you 
have to mount the corresponding USB "umass" device entry under /dev/ with the proper filesystem (usually fs-dos.so), to 
access the device.
