00:00Computer Science videos here today to show you guys in this tutorial how to

00:05transfer a text file from a USB flash drive to your MacBook Pro desktop using

00:11terminal commands. Without further ado let us start the video. In this tutorial

00:16you need to have access to a Mac computer a USB flash drive which can

00:20have a capacity of 1, 2, 4 all the way to a terabyte. In this tutorial we are not

00:25concerned about the capacity as we are using a text file which is very small in

00:30size. We also need to have access to the terminal and be familiar with terminal

00:35commands and so we can now start this tutorial. Let's now go all the way around to

00:40the dock, go to finder. Before we even do that let's just minimize finder and now

00:49insert the USB into the Mac computer.

00:56Let's just open up the Kingston USB on screen, go to the dock, go back to finder,

01:02navigate to Kingston and there we have a text file that we are working on. Let

01:08that load. Work.txt which is what we are trying to transfer from the Kingston USB

01:16to the desktop. Ideally what we can do is take the file, drag and drop. However

01:22let's turn this into a complex scenario for ourselves as in the near future when

01:32things become more complicated we will have to take the terminal command route.

01:38So let's just minimize finder for the moment. Let's now go all the way around to the dock,

01:42go to launchpad, search for the command prompt terminal, open that up on screen,

01:47increase the size of the terminal window, also increase the text size and now what

01:53we can do is navigate to the desktop. Cd desktop ls-l to list everything on

02:04screen. We are not able to see the Kingston USB so let's navigate to

02:12volumes and Kingston. Cd v tab k tab ls-l and there we have work.txt to

02:27move that text file. The command is mv as you have seen in the previous

02:34tutorials space w tab work to the destination which is the desktop option

02:44n tilde slash de tab desktop enter and there we see the file from the Kingston

02:57USB has now jumped from its original place to the final destination which is

03:05the desktop. So we can now quit finder for the moment, clear the terminal, quit

03:12terminal, eject the Kingston USB and so that's it for this video. I'll see you

03:22guys in my next tutorial. Thanks for now. Thank you for making it towards the end

03:28of the video. Be sure to subscribe to my channel Computer Science Videos. Be sure
