Unable to copy files from HD to a pendrive in Slitaz 5.0 RC1

Hi! I'm new to Slitaz.

I'm can mount HD and USB drives using the graphical interface (TazPanel), but I'm unable to copy files from HD to USB. The message "Permission denied" appears on screen; I can't modify USB files, only read them.

I've tried to do it using "su" (root), but the result is the same.

Because of this issue, I can't save HD files on USB, one of the best features of Slitaz LiveCD.

Does anyone have any idea about how to fix it?

Hi

As you I've Slitaz-5.0-rc1 installed on the hard disk and (as tux) I can mount USB drive (format ext3) and to copy some files I have to do $su + passwd and after I plug the key and #pcmanfm

The keys appeared  and the command mount shows :

/dev/sdb1 on /run/media/tux/antiXlive type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,errors=continue,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered,uhelper=udisks2)

So it's possible to copy the files (as root only)

If the key is vfat or ntfs maybe it's useful to install the packages ntfs-3g ans dosfstools

I hope you'll quickly manage to copy the files on the key.

Normally it is just a permissions problem because you are trying to gain access to files owned by the root operator, so just become the root operator & you will be able to read & write to your pendrive.

Edit: If the above doesn't work, the drive has had 'protection' enabled.

Thank you all for the help.

The problem was solved in Slitaz 5.0 RC2.
