how to connect usb thumb drive

[RottenMutt]

I bought a Ambient Weather weatherbridge server with Meteohub installed. I plugged in a 16GB thumb drive into the hub. I formated it ext4 before plugging it in. is there a way to access the drive over the network. i saw a reference to that somewhere. don't see where it is mounted in file system.

perhaps i don't know what i'm doing.

You're best to create a separate thread for other issues so the setup of FTP doesn't get lost in the thread called ""how to connect usb thumb drive"

That said setup of FTP is listed here near the bottom of the page.

No special format needed and the USB thumb will only be used for storing the application stack downloaded from the Internet. So any small thumb drive will do.

[RottenMutt]

so what is the benefit of inserting a thumb drive if it is only used to store the application stack from the internet. when booting can it load the application stack from the usb drive? Also i thought that after inserting the thumb drive it would show in the system tab, but it doesn't.
usb drive has two files, image.tgz and persist.db.tar

i thought i could save weather data to the usb thumb drive.

i attempted to setup a service, my only choices for service are:

• email
  twitter
  http request
  ftp upload
  sftp upload
  camera ftp upload
  mysql requests
  script execution
  sms notification

and event type:

• periodical
  specific time
  alarm

i setup ftp and email. when creating an event, i selected periodically, and it is looking for a template (with no way to select one) and a file path.
i'm stumped...

[admin]

You are free to create a better solution

[RottenMutt]

i'm asking for help.

i wish to ftp weather data to ftp server. can you help me with that?

Have you checked the FTP section of the Push Services?
