mazal,
Could you post the results of the following command in a terminal window (with the Memory stick inserted and mounted, of course):
- Code: Select all
cd /media
- Code: Select all
ls -al
This should return something like this:
texasmike@texasmike-desktop-JJ:~$ cd /media
texasmike@texasmike-desktop-JJ:/media$ ls -al
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 5 root texasmike 4096 2009-06-13 02:26 . None

You are looking for the permissions on your "folder"
STORE N GO/ - the part at the start of the line with the
STORE N GO/ folder shown at the right of that line. If it does not have
drwxr-xr-x (or even
drwxrwxrwx), then you do not have permission to Write to the device/drive. The "rwx" stands fort Read/Write/Execute, and the 1st set are for the
Owner, then the
Group, and finally the
World. If the owner (you) does NOT have
rwx you cannot write to it even if you
Own it.
To correct this and add Write permissions for the owner, type the following in a terminal:
- Code: Select all
chmod 755 STORE\ N\ GO/
the type
- Code: Select all
ls -al
and you should see something like this:
drwxr-xr-x 2 mazal mazal 4096 2009-05-02 21:13 STORE\ N\ GO/ BTW: You can avoid that mess of "slashes" in you directory name if you do not use any blank spaces in the name - for example:
STORE_N_GO instead of
STORE AND GO. This makes typing the file or directory names easy when the Terminal or Command Line Interface - just a thought that could help eliminate confusion.
Post back your results, if this does not resolve your
write permissions problem.
