How to use PenDrive in Linux

I am new one in the field of Linux. I have some my personal files in my
pen drive. I want to copy them to my Hard drive. I want some suggestions
on how to mount peddrive and other USB devices in Linux before trying it.
Can anybody help me????

Most recent distributions should automatically mount your usb devices. If this does not happen in yours, you should use the mount command:

Code:

mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb

Where sdb1 is where your usb stick was detected (this could also be sda1, sda2, etc, so check 'dmesg' to see where the device was registered). /mnt/usb is just some empty fodler where the device will be mounted.

Don't forget to umount before pulling the stick out.

Code:

umount /mnt/usb
