Can I access my files?

[sharks]

Hello. Right now, I'm turning my system into a webserver using Ubuntu Server. My question to you would be, say, I've some files on my USB or any other folder, and all I see now is Command line interface in Ubuntu Server, is there any way that I can copy those files to the server?

Of course; you just need to mount the USB drive, then copy the files over. The server edition doesn't automatically mount USB drives, but you can install that functionality.

Pretty, can you let me know of that functionality?

Thanks Grenage!

I believe the most common package is called usbmount, but the is another named ivman; I've not personally used either.

The documentation on automatic mounting for usb's is here.

The short version is:

sudo aptitude install usbmount

Manually, if you know of your devices you can run:

sudo mount /dev/<devicename> /mnt
