USB card readers provide USB Storage to your computer. When using or buying them, take care: Many USB card readers are not able to read SD HC cards, just regular SD cards.
Use it
To use a USB card reader open a console and
- clear your syslog
dmesg -c
- attach the card reader with the card in it to a USB port
- read your syslog
dmesg
- watch for some lines that tell you as which device the card reader was attached:
[34773.554609] sdc: sdc1
- in this case it was attached as disk /dev/sdc, containing a partition /dev/sdc1
- make sure you are root
su -
- create a directory for your flash card
mkdir /mnt/sdc1
- mount your flash reader's card to this directory
mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1
Now your SD card's files can be found under /mnt/sdc1
