Please help frastrated young man to mount his USB please

[Defender_Sky]

Hi all

I've been trying to do this all day and seems like there are problems behind each pace towards success.

I made USB live and successfully mounted usb. Commands I used are shown below:

sudo fdisk -l
in response to the first command: sdb1 250GB(this is the target)
sudo mkdir /mnt/usbflash
sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbflash

All done without any problems. However, when I tried to open file /mnt/usbflash, a dialogue jumps out says "do not have permissions neccessary to view the contents of usbflash".

I googled it and found out someone solved this with Alt+F2 and type in 'gksu nautilus'. I tried, and it worked!!! However! Not single file of my 200GB files were shown there! How could it be??

I used comman "ls /mnt/usbflash" to check, and it shows correctly the files inside.

Could you help me ,guys. I will be very grateful!!

Thanks

When you make a directory that you are going to use as a mount point for a disk, you must give the world read, write and execute access to it. The quickest way to do this is probably to use the command sudo chmod a=rwx usbflash but you can do it via nautilus too if you invoke it as root. The task only needs to be carried out once. Then try mounting your drive and it should show up normally.

you have done everything right to view your contents in GUI with nutilus you can type "sudo nutilus" or "sudo dolphin" and then you can browse and change folder permission freely
