Operating Systems SCO how to access data in a pen drive in sco openserver 6 Post 302284235 by BEvans on Thursday 5th of February 2009 04:23:24 AM

The USB drive is automounted as a device, not a file system. To see what device node was created just look at the dates of the device nodes. The most recently added nSX where n is the new device, and X is a bunch of nodes for different partitions etc. If you added disks before this might not work so quickly trying a few of the 1sX devices might be needed.

ls /dev/dsk/?s?

The USB drive probably came formatted as a FAT file system. The dosXXX commands can access a FAT file system directly with no need to mount it as a file system. So if 2nX was the set of device nodes created when you first inserted the USB drive commands like the following should work. If you have one disk then 1s1 is the where the flash drive is.

dosdir /dev/dsk/2s1

doscp /dev/dsk/2s1:BACKUP.ZIP BACKUP.ZIP

Myself I usually use zip and unzip to bundle up files for easy transfer and viewing on windows machines from/to the flash drive.

NAME
cdde.xml - Configuration file for cdde DESCRIPTION
When cdde is run for the first time, an example xml configuration file (~/.cdde.xml) is created for you: <?xml version="1.0"?> <cdde delay="5000000"> <drive path="/dev/cdrom"> <audio command="echo An audio cd was inserted."/> <data command="echo A data cd was inserted."/> <dvd command="echo A dvd was inserted."/> <vcd command="echo A vcd was inserted."/> <svcd command="echo A svcd was inserted."/> <blank command="echo A blank cdr/dvdr was inserted."/> <mixed command="echo A mixed (audio/data) cd was inserted."/> </drive> </cdde> This default file is not very useful, and so I suggest you to edit it to your needs before running cdde again. You may add as many drive entries, or commands as you like. If multiple entries are found for a type of disc then all entries will be run in the order they are found. The specific device in use can be passed to the command with one of the following special tags: %dev% - is replaced with the device name of the cdrom that just had a disc inserted %mnt% - is replaced with the listed mount point for the cdrom that just had a disc inserted Note: %mnt% is determined through your fstab (usually located in /etc) file. If you do not have a listing for each <drive> in the fstab this will cause problems. This way, you can tell your video player which device to use when playing a VCD, for example. EXAMPLE
This is an example of ~/.cdde.xml file: <?xml version="1.0"?> <cdde delay="5000000"> <drive path="/dev/cdroms/cdrom0"/> <audio command="xmms %mnt%"/> <data command="mount %mnt%"/> <dvd command="xterm -iconic -e mplayer -fs -xineramascreen 1 -dvd 1"/> <vcd command="xterm -iconic -e mplayer -fs -xineramascreen 1 -vcd 1"/> <svcd command="xterm -iconic -e mplayer -fs -xineramascreen 1 -vcd 1"/> <blank command="gcombust"/> <mixed command="mount %mnt%"/> </drive> </cdde> FILES
