Re: [notspam] Re: getting images off a digital camera...
All I have to do is mount it as if it were a regular drive on the system. I think the generic kernel has support for USB mass storage devices, so plug your camera in and make note of it's device name then mount it as if it were an msdos drive. In the following example my camera is /dev/da0s1 so after making a directory called camera in /mnt, I type mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/camera - Original Message - From: Alex(ander Sendzimir) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Chad Albert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: freebsd-questions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 12:31 PM Subject: [notspam] Re: getting images off a digital camera... Chad, I'm not familiar with USB storage devices. I have a USB scanner and printer and that's the extent of my experience with USB under any OS. Could explain in more detail what you do? Then again I'm asking this in part out of time constraints: I haven't looked at mounting a USB device in the man pages yet. Thanks for you help. I have a biology exam right now that looks like it's going to be a killer. I'm outta here.

Re: [notspam] Re: getting images off a digital camera...
Chad, Thanks again. That helps. In another post David Kelly suggest gphoto2 in ports/graphics. I looked into this and it does support the DSC-F707. So, perhaps it will work with the F717, too. Also, it supports your camera. I think I will try both approaches and see how they compare. Of course (doesn't it figure) I compile my kernel without USB mass storage support. Oh, well. It's about time for another kernel compile :-) Thanks again. Alex On Mon, 2003-03-03 at 17:21, Chad Albert wrote: All I have to do is mount it as if it were a regular drive on the system.

It's about time for another kernel compile :-) My father has a Sony camera as well. I don't know what model, but I'd guess that if the F707 shows as a SCSI disk, the F717 will as well. It's far preferable to use standard interfaces than special software. Once you have the device, you can mount it as a disk and copy the files to where they belong. First create a directory /camera and put the following entry in /etc/fstab: /dev/da0s1 /camera msdos rw,noauto 0 0 Then, after connecting the camera, you can do things like: # mount /camera # mkdir Photos # cp /camera/directory/* Photos # rm /camera/directory/* Most cameras don't store the photos in the root directory. For example, my Nikon camera stores them in /camera/dcim/100nikon. You'll have to find out the name of the directory on your camera and replace the text directory with the correct name.
