The disk is mounted as /disk. To copy a file onto a computer "cp /disk/filename /filename". To copy it to a disk "cp /filename /disk/filename".

Please post a new topic with your code and that error message.

Use `ls disk` to get the names of the files, then use copy with the filenames. If the filename was battleship, you'd do `copy disk/battleship battleship`.

You should have started your own topic. Or read the sticky posts and posted in the New Members topic.
