Edit file /etc/udevil/udevil.conf
and change line:

Code: Select all

default_options_vfat   = ro, iocharset=utf8, noatime, uid=$UID, gid=$GID

to:

Code: Select all

default_options_vfat   = rw, iocharset=utf8, noatime, uid=$UID, gid=$GID

That is, if your external USB stick is FAT formatted, and not something else...
Even if it's another filesystem, in the same file (/etc/udevil/udevil.conf) you can set the "rw" flag (read & write) for other filesystems which are currently defined as "ro" (read only).

Basically, you change the "ro" part after the equal sign (=) to "rw".

HTH,

Denis

Hi Denis,
thanks for the tip...
I just tried it from my Mac through SFTP, I can RW on a local storage (SD card),
on mounted volumes, however, I can't write anything...
Any idea ?
