to move files around from within dsl:

IPB Image

open the EMELFM AS ROOT, an option which is given off the bat in dsl,

browse to your usb device in the left panel,

in the right panel, browse to where you want to move your files to,

back on the left panel, highlight all files you wish to transfer,

in between both panels is an actions list, push "move" to move your files from point a, to point b.

this of course is provided that your usb device is mounted and able to be found by dsl to begin with.

i do not work with usb memory devices, so i can't personaly tell you where dsl will mount it to, but for hard drive media, they mount in a folder called "mnt".

p.s.
alternatively, if your xbox has internet connectivity in dsl, which it sounds like it does since you're going to use it as a web server, upload your files from your usb stick from another computer to the internet, then download them to where you want to save them via firefox on your xbox/dsl. you could even email them to yourself as an attachment via gmail or whatever your email provider is.

Or, he could just use skydrive. Who eMails stuff to themselves anyway? Thats just stupid.

Anyway, question here: How did you get to that screen with the USB stick on it? I am using the newest version of xBox DSL.

Thanks so much!

i have been known to email files to myself. its a great way of saving files without worrying about losing webspace anywhere. attachments are never deleted from your emails, so i fail to see how the suggestion is stupid.

in fact, dismissing a valid suggestion is stupid. especiallty since this sounds like a good tip if he cant get his usb stick working.

Well, SkyDrive with all those free GigaBytes made that waaaaay obsolete. Plus you've gotta log in, and then people see you reading your email, "is that one from yourself? - do you not have anyone to talk to?", that sort of thing.

Sorry if I offended your way of using email.

having to login to your email is not a problem for anyone with a fully functioning cerebral cortex.

as well, having files stored in your email provides privacy.

as for your childish thought that people may say, "you dont have anyone to talk to, doy doy doy!" i have to say, you come off as incredibly childish. i cant picture you being more than 16 years old, and if you are, there is a serious issue with your mental development if you think that way.

do what you wanna do, it was a suggestion that makes perfect sense in a world where people think for themselves. not too many people are concerned with the scenario that you describe taking place. if anyone is reading my email over my shoulder, they need to be addressed, anyway, as in, 'why the fuck are you reading over my shoulder? dont you have anyone to talk to, loser?'

so as you can see, your childish scenario can be flipped on yourself. why dont you use your sky-thingy and upload an avatar and remove that comment from your signature. you are very far from 'world famous' unless you are known beyond these forums for a high level of stupid posts.

no offense, tho. lol. rollseyes.
