Command line change to another disk

I am wanting the proper way to change from one disk to another in command line. For example, If I want to grab a file from a USB stick to install or move a file from Terminal... how is this done?

 

In linux all drives are merely considered folders/directories; mounted at a specific point.
Your USB drive is probably mounted somewhere under /media or /mnt.
If it for instance was mounted as /media/myusbstick, you would go there with

Code:

cd /media/myusbstick

You can get a list of all the things under media with

Code:

ls /media/*

Under the windows command line all drives have their own letter, like c:, d:, e: and so on. Check the file eplorer to see which letter was assigned to it. Then changing to e.g. drive f: would be:

Code:

f:

 

Thanks. It's Linux.

Gotta relearn those old DOS habits.

 

Another question...

How do you assign a Unix name to a drive? Something other than "disk-1"?
