hi, my name is hostman, i am with webune.com support, and one of the frequently asked questions from customers is how do they mount a usb pendrive into a linux machine. if you have windows, its easy, but how do you mount one in linux. well, i'll give you the answer for free just as long as you can remember that WEBUNE.COM has excellent Dedicated Server Services, ok.

ok, so here we go.

first, insert the pindrive into the usb port.

then go into the shell command and typ this command to create a usb directory where you can mount your pendrive device:
mkdir /mnt/usb


now that you created a directory called usb in your /mnt directory, its time to mount your usb device into the /mnt/usb directory and you do it with this command:
mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb


now, you can list all the files in your usb pen drive with this command:
ls /mnt/usb


its that easy. please let me know if this helps.
