How to set write permissions for USB?

[arcull]

Hi everybody. I have troubles with usb keys on my suse 10.2. When I plug in the key i can view the content on it, but can't add any new file on it, it show's as it copied the file to the key, but when I plug out and plug in again the key, the last added file is missing. In order to add files to my usb key, I have to log in as root, then I can add the file to the key successfully. How can I give normal users permissions, for adding files to the usb keys? ps: the problem is the same for all 3 keys I have.
Thanx for help.

Hi,
Ok i think u can try this out,

su -
Password
cd /media/
chmod 0777 -v -R -f usbdevicename

That should fix u up.

Cheers
Robin

Thanx robin_bga, I already tried that, and it didn't help. Any other suggestion maybe.

In 10.3 if you access the usbdisk properties in konqueror there is an option to open as user ... I don't have 10.2 is this option available?
Can you set permissions of group and other to can view & modify content, also check in advanced permissions sticky is not selected.
