I'm still a noob so please excuse the simple question.

I got ubuntu 20.04 installed on a Raspberry Pi 4. The OS is installed on a 16G SD card. That don't give me any space for downloads. I have a 2T USB thumb drive I want to use for downloads.

Can anyone please help me configure ubuntu to download to that USB drive?

I'm familiar with inputing in the terminal but I don't know what command to use.

  1. Mount the disk to /mnt/Download (You can edit /etc/fstab to let it mount every time you boot, see How to make partitions mount at startup? , make sure to add x-systemd.automount,nofail into mount options.)
  2. sudo chmod ugo+rw /mnt/Download
  3. ln -s /mnt/Download /home/yous-username/Downloads
  4. You can also config the browser to directly download to /mnt/Download If you use a command-line downloader (wget, etc.), you must first cd into /mnt/Download
