How to transmit a file from Linux to USB drive

[s1rUK]

Hi there,

I'm working on application that permits myself to transfer a file located in my file system into a usb device (FAT32). I have to use Bulk Transfer Only mode that means to use stream of characters only. I looked through the LibUsb library using it in my IDE I can transmit a string. To transfer a whole file I suppose I've to dodge the file system building a char sequence that permits to recognise a file in the file system and to put it into the usb device.


Suggestions?

Couldn't you just use copyfile() and supply the file path to the usb volume? What do you mean by bulk transfer? If you talk about writing to the raw device, I don't see how you could do that and respect for your FAT32 filesystem.

All forms of file copying/transfer are, fundamentally, just about char streams.
