Cop[ying files from WIndows - FreeBSD using Cruizer

2008-06-29 Thread Grant Peel

Hi all,

I have a USB sandisk cruiser 2 gig memory stick that I would like to use to 
copy some files from a Windows machine to a Free BSD (6.3).


I findiing the handbook a little confusing on this topic, and was wondering 
if anyone would be willing outline a procedure for this.

You could transfer files in multiple ways other than copying files to a
usb stick and mounting it in freebsd.  To mount a fat32 volume in
freebsd use 'mount -t msdos /path/to/device /mountpoint' and simply
copy the files from the mountpoint.

Alternatives are to use network file sharing, ssh file transfer, etc.

Thanks David,

In my case I was getting a 'deprication' warning so I changed the command 
to:


mount -t msdosfs /dev/da1s1 /usbstick

(I already have a scsi device (SAS) connected).

Thanks again,

-Grant
