How do I view files on my USB storage media?

On Linux:

Mounting USB Storage Media

1. At the terminal prompt, type:

mount /mnt/usb

2. Then you can access the files by going into that directory:

cd /mnt/usb

3. You can list the files in that directory:

ls

Unmounting USB Storage Media

1. At the terminal prompt, type:

cd

so you can move out of the /mnt/usb directory. You cannot unmount a directory while you are in it.

2. Umount the directory:

umount /mnt/usb

Using Gnome
Right-click on the desktop, then choose Disks->Usb to mount the usb key

Using Nautilus
Double-click the folder on your desktop that says Username's Home, where Username is your username.
Then in the field next to Location, type /mnt/usb , or the appropriate directory you want to access.
