How to access pendrive using terminal

[rahulr]

Well the thing is everytime i plug in my pendrive in system ..
i have to copy paste a particular file into my folder to work on the terminal screen.

I know it sounds ridiculous , but how do i access my pendrive files directly from my terminal screen.?

The pendrive should mount under /media. Mine shows up as LEXAR MEDIA, and since the command line will stop at the space, I put it in quotes like so:

cd /media/"LEXAR MEDIA"
or
ls -al /media/"LEXAR MEDIA"

Hi,

If there is no a 'media' folder (may be different in some distros) you can use the 'df' command to see the current mounted filesystems (disk usage actually)

In the GUI the pen drive shows up ..... but i want to access using the terminal screen.

for example in windows
the default drive will be like
C:\ (provided ur OS is installed in it )

but if i write

C:\ D: the drive changes . It becomes

D:\ and i can access all the files in that particular drive.

can i do something like that .....

start udevmonitor command
root#udevmonitor
now insert pern drive, just check name device file for your pen drive (may be /dev/sdb1)
now mount it
root#mkdir /mnt/pendrive
root#mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/pendrive
here vfat is file system, i suppose pen drive formatted in windows
thnks
