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.

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??? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo!
