    How to browse a mounted device (flash drive) via command line?

    Is there a way to jump on a flash drive and browse through it the same way you'd browse through documents via the command line?

    I've done that and it is there when I do ls, can't I just cd into it now?

    You can cd to it:
    cd /media/abcdef (or whatever it was mounted as)
    or you can list it:
    ls -l /media/abcdef
    or both:
    cd /media/abcdef
    ls -l

    What if there's a space in the flash drive name? Don't I just do the back slash trick to signify a space?
    Will it work like this?
    Code:
    cd /media/JOEY'S\16GB

    Hi,

    That should work or you can enclose it in quotes such as
    Code:
    cd "/media/Joey's 16GB"
