root privlages

[Michael Phillips]

If you want a normal user to be able to copy files, you need to mount the drive
as a normal user.  In your /etc add the following line:


# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
/dev/sda1       /mnt/usbdrive   ntfs    ro,user,noauto  0       0

This will allow any user to mount the drive.  The user who mounts the drive
will get permission to it.  man mount and man fstab commands will help you
further.
