Topic: How do you see files on a USB drive vis SSH?

When I try /mnt/usb/ I get "permission denied".

EDIT: I think I might be getting somewhere now. I did a "cd /mnt" then it said "usb". I did "cd usb" and did an "ls", but nothing came up... There is definitely one file on there, and the drive is FAT formatted. I obviously don't know Linux/Busybox, and tons of Google searches are coming up short - any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: How do you see files on a USB drive vis SSH?

I figured it out - it's just:

btplay /mnt/usb/musicfile.mp3 &

but it only seems to work when the Chumby is started with the USB flash drive in it. It also doesn't seem to work with .m3u playlists, and I can't find any docs on BlueTune yet...

EDIT: Poor man's playlist:

btplay /mnt/usb/music1.mp3;btplay /mnt/usb/music2.mp3 &

Works great.
