Adb push does not work

Question

When I run the command

adb push file.txt /flash/Data

it writes this error message

failed to copy 'file.txt' to '/flash/Data': Read-only file system

Could you navigate me and solve the problem? thank you

What device are you using? I'm not familiar with the /flash folder. — Matthew Read, Mar 15 '11 at 17:50
my device is Archos 7. In OI File Manager I can see the flash folder. But folder is not important, I can copy it to another folder (but I don't have SD card) — xralf, Mar 15 '11 at 18:54
OK. As Bryan asked in his answer, what are you trying to accomplish? Just store files? — Matthew Read, Mar 15 '11 at 19:26

You have to have root access to mount the drive as that article is describing (calling su == becoming root).

What are you trying to accomplish? Can you push the file to the sdcard instead (if your device has one)?

You can attempt writing to /data/local/tmp/ as it is writable even by normal users.

You normally have to be rooted to change how the filesystem is mounted.

I'd like to preserve warranty. – xralf Mar 15 '11 at 18:54

Then you should use an SD card or something to put files on, you can't write indescriminately to the system or data partitions without root. – Matthew Read Mar 15 '11 at 18:58
We can use interntal flash. – xralf Mar 15 '11 at 19:22
