Re: Copy to a flash drive from terminal
Dan, You are on the right track and you would look for the attached drive in /Volumes. So, you might have a drive named Dan and thus the copy action would be: cp foo.bar /Volumes/Dan. hth, On Jan 8, 2012, at 4:45 PM, .dan. wrote: How does one identify the name of an attached flash drive when in terminal? I assume that to copy files to it the usual copy command with the name of the drive as destination will do it. If you could provide an example command using a dummy drive name it would be helpful. Please add information and correction as needed. Thanks, Dan XB IC|XC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Copy to a flash drive from terminal
You can list all your attached / mounted volumes by typing the following command in Terminal: ls /Volumes/ Make sure you either use an escape character or put your destination volume in between quotes if your destination volume name contains spaces.

Copy to a flash drive from terminal
How does one identify the name of an attached flash drive when in terminal? I assume that to copy files to it the usual copy command with the name of the drive as destination will do it. If you could provide an example command using a dummy drive name it would be helpful. Please add information and correction as needed.
