Open a terminal window and type "emelfm /mnt" <cr> - for me this opens emelfm with the contents of /mnt in the left hand pane.

emelfm /mnt
All its done is open emelfm program from the terminal. it makes no odds! its the same screen!

So you don't get something analogous to this:
Code: [Select]
ls /mnt
mmcblk0p1/ mmcblk0p2/ sdf1/      sdf2/      test

Hi JunkYard
... but I have typed "/mnt/sdd1 <cr>" and pressed enter ...
Don't type in "<cr>".  "<cr>" means press enter.

Hi JunkYard
It has to be :
Code: [Select]
ls /mnt/sdd1when you run it from the terminal, and your USB device still
needs to be plugged in and mounted.

Hi JunkYard

You are not giving us much to work with. I don't understand
what you are trying to say.

Why are you repeating my command with an upper case L?
Why are you repeating my command without the / in front of mnt?

Because that is the only key there is on this keyboard that looks anything link the one you have given
sorry / was a typo. /mnt/sdd1 dose nothing! (probably because just like inenififm it dose not exist)

I've attached an emelfm screenshot.

Basically in the area I've circled in the screenshot you need to change the text from /home/tc to /mnt and hit enter - you will then be able to see the contents of /mnt

In my example the contents of /mnt in the left hand pane are:

sda1, sda2, sda3 - partitions on my laptop hard disk.
sdb1, sdb2 - partitions on a usb stick.

What? You don't have a lowercase L on your keyboard?

It's  lowercase L  lowercase S  /mnt/sdd1:
Code: [Select]
ls /mnt/sdd1

ls /mnt/sdd1

ok so its "ls /mnt/sdd1"
Just as I though. No such directory!
