Re: linux, copy a:\file to /tmp in linux?
Quote:
Place floppy in the drive and issue the command: mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy Where /mnt/floppy is a pre-existing sub-dir. You don't have to use /mnt/floppy, it can be any sub-dir. Once you have done this, you can use cp like you normally would, ala: Code:
cp /mnt/floppy/myFile /tmp

See if you have mtools installed. This will allow you to use a command like:
doscp a:/text.file /home/mydir

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
hi i issued the above and the floppy is mounted. however, i cant do any ls or cp. BUT, i did a simple mount /dev/fd0 /floppy and it works... the option -t <filesystem> is for more precise, advanced control.. i guess  on my redhat 8.0, i did a mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom to mount my cd... |

Weird. It was a MS-DOS formatted floppy, right?
Oh well. If the Linux mount is smart enough to identify the filesystem automagically then that oughta be good enough.

By Linux 8, I assume you mean Redhat 8.
On my Redhat 7.3 box, I have the following line in my /etc/fstab: Quote:

you can use Mtools
mcopy a:\file /tmp but you might have to mcopy a:file /tmp because the \ might f it up
