copy a file from usb to in linux
#1
I have a mx box run in linux. I try to copy a xml file from a usb to somewhere so I can use it in my livestream addon. I've been going into file manager. I was able to see the file from usb but there is no option to copy it.
Is there a way to do it?

Thanks.

Maybe dum idea and apologies if its completely non related but have you tried to drag and drop into your linux home file then do it from there via file manager??

Have you tried right clicking on the file to get a context menu? Otherwise CTRL+C should work.

Do you have ssh access? If so ssh in and use the mv command like
Code:
mv /media/usbdrive/fileiwantotoshift /path/to/where/i/want/it/

Of course the USB drive has to be mounted. Most desktop linuxes do that automatically these days. You can check the mountpoint by issuing the mount command
Code:
mount
