ubuntu 12.04 server - connect a ntfs external usb drive

attached the USB drive and you will see a message in the commandline that it detected the drive:

check if the drive is detected by ubuntu and see the drive desgnation:
	sudo fdisk -l

assume that the USB drive in the list is /dev/sdc1(yours might be different):

create a mount point folder in /mnt or any folder you like:
	sudo mkdir /mnt/usbdrive

mount USB drive(/dev/sdc1) to the /mnt/usbdrive folder:
	sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usbdrive

to copy a folder(ex. /home/user1/Downloads) the USB drive(/mnt/usbdrive):
	sudo cp -r /home/user1/Downloads/. /mnt/usbdrive/
