The cp command is

cp filename /mnt/floppy/

The forward slash is very important otherwise you are trying to create a file called 
floppy in the /mnt directory.  The directory entry floppy in /mnt is a symbolic link 
(in terms of winblows as short cut) to the actual device /dev/fd0.  This is assuming 
that your floppy is drive A.

Hope this helps.

I'm sure this is a very easy question to answer and
I'm being very brain deaded about it....

How do you copy a file to a floppy drive via terminal?
 Is it cp "filename" /mnt/floppy?  Everytime I try
this and I do an ls in the /mnt/floppy directory, it
shows up.  However when I bring it to a Winblows
machine, I can't see the file.  

Help???
