This is very peculiar. I can read and write mine. Can you plug your in, then show the text resulting from the commands:

Look at this, which I think is extremely strange, and different from yours: user1@mango2:~> l /media total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2004-05-12 10:19 cdrecorder drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2004-05-12 10:19 floppy drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2004-05-24 13:28 usb-storage-odd-ProlificTechnologyInc-USBMassStorageDevice:0:0:0p1 user1@mango2:~> cd /media user1@mango2:/media> l total 32 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2004-05-24 13:05 ./ drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 2004-05-24 06:01 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2004-05-12 10:19 cdrecorder/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2004-05-12 10:19 floppy/ drwxr-xr-x 7 user1 users 8192 1969-12-31 16:00 usb-storage-odd-ProlificTechnologyInc-USBMassStorageDevice:0:0:0p1/ user1@mango2:/media> Notice that when I *log in* to the directory /media, that the ls shows different ownership for the device mount point than when I ls /media from somewhere else in the tree. I can't explain this. But it might not even be the real issue. Another thing to consider is whether you are actually the same userid (the *numerical uid* not the username associated with the uid) on the two different machines you are transfering from. cat /etc/passwd to see what your uids are. Just a possiblity. Good luck. -- ____________________________________ Christopher R. Carlen Principal Laser/Optical Technologist Sandia National Laboratories CA USA crcarle@sandia.gov
