the title says it all... i constantly transfer files to and from my computer... i would like to find a way to automatically copy all data from a usb stick to a specified hdd folder when stick is inserted

is that too complicated to achieve? any ideas?

a program could easily be made but a command would probably be just as easy

sudo cp "/mnt point of usb" "/folder"

If you are synchronizing them in any way, 'unison' is worth a try.

Since you probably don't want to run the command manually each time you mount the device, this will be useful:
