That is actually what I had hoped to do but have been unable to. I can't determine the filesystem that I need to mount. I tried filesystem type vfat and msdos and mounting /dev/ttyUSB0 and 1 but the same error message prints out each time. Any idea what I can do? -- <:-)Mike(-:> the error: bmike1@0[bmike1]$ cd '/home/bmike1/Documents/Pictures/My Pictures' bmike1@0[My Pictures]$ sudo mount -t vfat or msdos /dev/ttyUSB0 or 1 /home/ bmike1/Documents/Pictures/My Pictures Usage: mount -V : print version mount -h : print this help mount : list mounted filesystems mount -l : idem, including volume labels So far the informational part. Next the mounting. The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'. Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted. mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab mount device : mount device at the known place mount directory : mount known device here mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device. One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere: mount --bind olddir newdir or move a subtree: mount --move olddir newdir A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom, or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid . Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd]. For many more details, say man 8 mount .
