Trying to copy file from one place to another

[THX11384EB]

I'm trying to use AntiX to copy a file from a file system my Windows system won't recognise to one that it will. The microSD card was formatted as internal storage on an Android phone which is now broken and I'd like to take a file off the card. Is the file system broken? Is the data probably missing from the card? The copy operation makes a 0 byte file at the destination. Thanks.

Can you post your inxi -Fxrz info?

Your copy command has an error. The relative address of the destination would expand to

Code: Select all

"/media/media/GREEN USB/nova.novabackup"

It should read, I think,

Code: Select all

$ cp "Nova Backup 2018-03-13_06-18.novabackup" "../GREEN USB/nova.novabackup"

or

Code: Select all

$ cp "Nova Backup 2018-03-13_06-18.novabackup" "/media/GREEN USB/nova.novabackup"

This assumes, of course, the 'GREEN USB' is mounted at /media
