Raspberry Pi Forums

Hello Everyone. I am trying to make myself a private file server using my Raspberry Pi. I am able to access my Pi with FTB but for some reason I cannot access my memory stick i plugged in, the file simply does not appear under /media. I think that my pi mounts usbs automatically, so I do not think that is the problem. If I use the pi's desktop the usb does appear under /media. Any ideas on how I could make it work would be very much appreciated.


Thanks

FTB? You mean ftp?

On a desktop some automounting may take place, but on the lower linux level you will have to study automount an usb device (udev and autofs commands) to make the device automount.

Yeah, I mean ftb. A file with the name of usb appears in /media if i look through the desktop. Does that mean it has mounted?
