USB Ports
I want to map out specific USB ports. For example if there are 7 ports on a USB hub I want to be able to identify port #2 and send a file there. How does UNIX see these ports?

Depends a lot on which architecture you're on. If you have lsusb you might be able to see from its output what's where. (Try with and without the -v option.) Works on Linux at least ... On Ubuntu (and I imagine some others) you get removable media mounted under /media/ with the media label as the directory name, so you don't need to worry about which USB port or controller it's attached to.
