Topic: Copying files from a sd card to a HD in GParted Live
Both are mounted.
Re: Copying files from a sd card to a HD in GParted Live
GParted can be used to copy partitions from a device to another (or even into the same disk device). The partitions have to be unmounted.
Copying just some files from a medium to another isn't specific to GParted. You can do it as in any Linux distro, from the command line (cp command) or the file manager GUI.
Please look at the GParted Live web page to find the software packages included in the live cd/usb.

Re: Copying files from a sd card to a HD in GParted Live
Hi,
I've seen the help page on the GParted site. It only shows how to copy a single file to a hd of sd card. Not a/t on using -r command in a terminal.
Re: Copying files from a sd card to a HD in GParted Live
@horazio. GParted can be used for copying partitions. It is not for copying files or folders.
To copy files or folders, either use the file manager included with your GNU/Linux distro (GParted Live image includes PCManFM), or else use the cp command from a terminal prompt.

I also saw u can easily copy files in MC though not from sda1 partition to another mounted media where it says 'not permitted'. I'm wondering why is that?
Re: Copying files from a sd card to a HD in GParted Live
In order to copy files the userid needs to have read access to the source file AND write access to the destination directory and file if it already exists.

How'd I know what kind of access do I (user) have to write on extrernal media (usb & hd)?
TY

To list the permissions, owner, and group on a file or directory use:

I'm trying to update my GP version with the latest. My .iso is in /user/Downloads though when I try to unzip it with
unzip gparted-live-0.29.0.1-i686-pae.zip -d ~/zip-tmp
it says: cannot find or open it ...?

For instructions see GParted Live on USB.
If you are trying to copy files from your USB flash drive to your hard drive then GParted is the wrong tool to use.

.iso file isn't zip file. Look for the .zip file in the download page.
