After attaching ur usb drive to the port , Give this command :

#mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
After that if u want to see ur usb contents
go to /mnt with command
#cd /mnt
check its contents by giving command
#ls

After finishing ur work, unmount the usb by giving this command
#umount /mnt
or
#umount /dev/sda1

means each time i have to do all this when evr i want to access the usb memory?
Is there any another way so that there should be no need to write this each time and normally one can access this usb port just like cd or floppy drive?
