I presume that it is already mounted, if so check to see where it is mounted and
file files in that directory
If it has not been mounted
mount the USB drive as a subdirectory of /home
eg
mount /dev/sda1 /home/????
Taking the command in sections
Mount see man mount. On mine the command is mount -t vfat
/dev/sda1 This is where the computer thinks your usb drive is. To find out
plug the usb drive in and look in /var/log/syslog
/home/???? This is the directory where you can access the usb drive. You
need to create it first
And then when you finish unmount /home/????
Or am I missing something
