Writing rights?

[Krassegrand]

I have an external HDD for watching videos but now I want to move 1 file from the Raspberry to the HDD but I don't seem to have writing permission on it. How do I fix that?

Edit
I have tried with another USB-stick but no difference.

I tryed with

Code: Select all

sudo su

from http://www.raspberry-projects.com/pi/co ... privileges
but no help.

what does a
mount
command show?

The ownership and masked permissions control who can write to a mounted USB stick with a FAT filesystem.

Here is the mount command!

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ mount

/dev/sda1 on /media/Elements type ntfs (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0177,dmask=077,nls=utf8,errors=continue,mft_zone_multiplier=1,uhelper=udisks)

There's your problem. Your filesystem is read-only.

Have you got ntfs-3g installed?

How do I check and how do I install?
