Terminal diff -r command & USB Volumes

[PhilCox1984]

can anyone help please ?

I want to compare two file systems using diff -r........

the first file system is a folder that I can locate OK in terminal. However, I can not locate an external USB HDD. It appears on desktop called "External 500GB". What would the path be for this ? volumes/ does not seem to work ? ?

Cheers !

Should be:

"/Volumes/External 500GB"

try it with quotes.

You can drag and drop items into the terminal windows as well...
