Copying files from DVD on the server

We ran into an issue where we were trying to restore files to the server from a network drive. Some of the files were too large and we were getting an error message when trying to copy them over. We had to make a DVD with the file and manually copy them from the DVD to the correct folder on the web server.

This was done remotely as follows:

1. Manually insert the DVD into the web server
2. Remote into the Web server using Putty
3. Mount the DVD
   1. mount –t ISO9660 –o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt
      
   2. You can now cd to /mnt and copy the files where they need to go
4. When finished, you have to un-mount the DVD in order to remove it from the server
   1. Make sure you are not sitting in the directory of the DVD.
   2. umount /mnt
