make partition of 2GB max on sd card, and it will work
Also you must have installed fat support.
if you use coffin then you have everything already installed.

You could use Internet, RDesktop EXTERNAL LINK or FTP connection.
 
  Its possible to use FAT32
  -----------------------------------------------
  Download fat95 EXTERNAL LINK  SD0 is part of SAGA drivers.

Use this nice advice, if you wish to us the card just for data transfer. Single FAT32 partition  as best.
 
  Format your SD card on PC to FAT32 fileformat in normal way. Do not use any Amiga tools like HDToolBox, SDMount or Giggledisk.
           
    Make sure you have:
       
              DEVS:sagasd.devive (v0.9 05/05/2016)
              L:fat95 (v3.18 03/01/2013)
              DEVS:DOSDrivers/SD0
              DEVS:DOSDrivers/SD0.info
           
    Make sure that your DEVS:DOSDrivers/SD0 mountlist uses partition geometry autosense, its contents must be like this:
 
              FileSystem    = l:fat95
              Unit          = 0
              Flags          = 0
              LowCyl        = 0
              HighCyl        = 0
              Surfaces      = 1
              BlocksPerTrack = 1
              BlockSize      = 512
              Buffers        = 20
              BufMemType    = 1
              BootPri        = 0
              Stacksize      = 4096
              Priority      = 5
              GlobVec        = -1
              DosType        = 0x46415401
              Device        = sagasd.device

Ok thanks, im not a expert in this, i just belive  that the SD Card port would support data from PC copy type to work, I have a Indivision card ACA 500 plus, there it is easy way to copy stuff from the PC to that card, and then install them to the Amiga, in my case a AMIGA 500 :)
I Will try your idea! :)

Glad about it. Well, FAT32 support is quite long time with  us,  but as user contribution. Sadly, due to AmigaOS troubles, it has never became part of OS. Similarly, there is no one to oficialy add NTFS or EXT4 and it is not there out of box even  on "AmigaOS 4.1.8+Enh 1.3"

Buffers        = 20

This was typo on my original post. Better to use:
 
Buffers = 300
 
Otherwise it is slow as a dog.

Thanks Simo,  also  for  original advice

Yup. Its 2018 and we have to add buffers by hand to cache disk transfers ...
