Hi,
I use a usb memory stick with my ltsp terminals. I do it from a command line,
but maybe that will work for you, or at least help.
First of all, I set up the lts.conf file to start a shell on the second virtual
terminal
SCREEN_02 = shell
then when I want to use my memory stick I type ctrl-alt-f2 to get to the shell
and do the following.
1. plug in the memory stick
2. mkdir /mnt/tmp
3. mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/tmp
4. cd /mnt/tmp/....
then I usually use scp to copy them to my home folder on the terminal server.
For example
scp *.jpg [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/mypictures
I haven't tried to find a way to do this from the X session yet, but this allows
me to get/put files from usb storage devices like memory sticks, cameras, etc.
HTH,
Derek
