Android+Eclipse: Can't push files to SD Card [

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• Android Emulator sdcard push error: Read-only file system 20 answers

Trying to push files to sd card via eclipse.

When I pull up my DDMS view, I have 3 main directories on the device:

/data
/mnt
/system

The only SDcard folder is located at /mnt/sdcard and it has permissions d--------.

I can't push anything to it, with the error:

Failed to push selection: Read-only file system

I had deleted and remade the device many times, with many different SD Card sized. I've tried adb remount at the adb shell as well as chmod 777 on the folder.

Why is this so difficult? Please help if you can.

In the above post the list of mounts have been shown, in which no mount to sdcard is there. In the DDMS the list of permissions for sdcard is shown as d-------- Anyways, the problem for me was solved once I deleted the emulator and created new one.
