Everything else works fine, I can create folders copy paste .mkv files, even some mp4 files that were already on flash drive can be tranfered to system and back to Flash drive. But I have 2 video files that are mp4 format, whenever I copy them it shows error
could not write to /run/media/user/flashdrive/video-file.mp4
I just made a switch from windows, I'm completely new to linux, also I can't find anything on Google or this forum related to the error...
Please assist me...
Welcome,
does user, user, exist?
The name of flash drive is flashdrive?
Please post in- and all output of your terminal.

cp: missing destination file operand after ‘Ertugrul_Ghazi_Urdu__Episode_48_Season_4(720p).mp4’
Try ‘cp --help’ for more information.
First of all, your command location is wrong. Your command should be
cp Ertugrul_Ghazi_Urdu__Episode_48_Season_4(720p).mp4 <path to directory>
To see path of directory, you have to open terminal in pendrive and use command
pwd
(Which stands for Print working directory, btw)
Also, if this is only 2 files, and everything else is fine, then I am afraid that the files might be corrupt or something. But that'll confirmed only if you try to copy to somewhere else say desktop, and it still doesn't work. Like, test this command
I tried to make a zip file then copied, the zip file was copied to flash drive but can't be extracted in the flash drive. I extracted the same .zip in videos, it worked fine.
And the files can be copied to another locations like desktop. Also they're not corupt as I can play the video start to end.
