I need to create a file in Ubuntu to use a USB cradle to upload Cycling data. I found instructions using google but am unable to create a file using touch.

Any help would be appreciated. This is the direction I am trying to follow: Create a file /etc/udev/rules/powertap.rules containing the following line:

SYSFS{idVendor}=="0403", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="666", GROUP="plugdev"

If typing cd /etc/udev/rules results in

bash: cd: /etc/udev/rules: No such file or directory

Then you are missing that directory and you need to create it first using

sudo mkdir /etc/udev/rules

After that use one of the other posted suggestions such as:

sudo echo "SYSFS{idVendor}=="0403", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6001", MODE="666", GROUP="plugdev"" > /etc/udev/rules/powertap.rules
