how do i know which usb port is which. i am trying to connect to my cell phone with kandy and i dont know which port the phone is pluged into
 
lsusb will show you what is connected to which port. If it can't find lsusb, you will have to apt-get the package that has it (sorry, not sure of the name). You may need to be root for lsusb to be pathed.
 
ok lsusb worked my jump drive is in bus 5 device 2. how do i save somthing to that now?
 
Mount it. It will be assigned a device number by the kernel (usually /dev/sd<number>, which you can see by reading through the output of dmesg.
 
ok found what dev it is. i type

mount /dev/scsi4 /media/bottomUSB

and i says must specify system volume type..... vfat?
 
when i click on devices it says "this protcol is not supported" why?
