Identifying a USB camera

Perhaps what I'm trying to do is impossible, or has to be done some
other way entirely.
MY COMPUTER (under XP) identifies the camera as "canon powershot
a410". If I double-click it, it opens to a window full of jpeg's (as
I'd expect it to). But going into Rev and doing the following
produces only "can't open directory" errors:
set the defaultfolder to ""canon powershot a410"; put the files
It doesn't matter if I put a colon after A410 or a colon and a slash.
I just get errors.
The problem may also be that all the photos on this camera are on its
SD card. Perhaps there's no way to get to them directly through Rev?
Thanks.
