Linux usually makes an empty directory available for that purpose, such as /mnt, or /media. The mounbt command might look like this: # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt The number sign indicates that you must be root to do that. Once it is mounbted, you can then use the cp command to copy your file from /mnt/filename, or /media/filename, just as though it were already present on your system. You can also write to that device by referring to it as /mnt, delete stuff from it, and so on, being careful when finished to unmount it, something like this: # umount /mnt or # umount /dev/sdb1 Either form is correct, and the unmount command is really spelled umount, no kidding.
