Re: [Astlinux-users] Can't mount CDROM or USB mem stick

Thanks, Bitvise worked.

 

Just out of curiosity, shouldn’t I be able to perform ftp to the AstLinux server?

Also, what would be the proper way to mount a SATA CDROM drive?

Think out of the ( linux ) box.
One easy solution is to use Bitvise ( https://www.bitvise.com ) a free solution to use from a windows machine
Presents with a dual file transfer panel, and an SSH command window.
Requires no changes to the AstLinux system, though I always change the SSH port if there is off LAN access.
I have used it for some time to support a bunch of remote thin clients on the collectors peer to peer network.

Be sure to check permissions on files transferred, as they may not be what you want.

I feel sure there are other solutions as well.

Sorry to be a pest, still a noob here.  I need to be able to copy some .wav files from a Windows system to AstLinux.  I tried FTP, but I can’t find it on the AstLinux system.  I was going to download it, but couldn’t find YUM and wget kept failing.  I then tried to read from a FAT formatted USB stick, but couldn’t get it to mount.  Then I tried a USB CDROM, same thing.  I now have a SATA CD ROM plugged in, and it doesn’t show up in fdisk –l.

Am I wrong in assuming that Linux commands should work as they do in Centos?
