Issues with dd

Greetings,

I am trying to use dd to make a startup usb disk of another operating system. I used the following command: dd if=/home/ghost/Downloads/Zorin-OS-17.2-Core-64-bit.iso of=/media/da2 bs=1m

I am getting an error stating "dd: /media/da2p1: Is a directory". I am not sure how to proceed. I tried to use lsblk hoping I could work around the path but that does not appear to work with bsd.

I found a command of camcontrol devlist but that was not very helpful to me.

Running current up to date version of GhostBSD. Any information you can share with me will be appreciated.
