usb protection

Asked by kiran

in my programming lab classes, its easy to do the pgms @ home and copy them to our lab s/m's using usb.
the problem is that the technicians in there has created some protection for usb access..
eventhough usb is detected it is shown empty..

we r open with terminal screen only..
so i was planning to use the cp command as

cp /media/usb-name/* pgms/

but the command is giving error msg that /media/usb-name/* is invalid path
 and whn i navigate to th usb drive and type ls or dir.
itshows nothing..
howcan i break this protection??
plz suggest..

you have not mentioned the absolute path for the destination folder.

please check if your usb drive is mounted inside /media by giving an ls command inside /media.

if not mounted, please mount it.

Can you help with this problem?
