Which distro? Which kernel? Which USB memory device? What hardware?
Recent distro versions automatically mount the USB device at /media/usbdisk so you can just copy files in the GUI. They even produce an icon on your desktop for the same.

Mount the device using
"mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick"
I don't remember the actual command off the top of my head, so you might have to specify a -t flag to specify the filesystem.
After mounting you can copy data using 'cp' or 'mv' as,
"cp/mv <file/s> /mnt/usbstick"
Of course you need to have the directory "/mnt/usbstick" present
Or as Shakthi pointed out most recent distro's should be able to mount it somewhere under /media

Find the device from /var/log/messages. Before connecting the stick, just fire the command # tail -f /var/log/messages From there, identify the device, then mount it. Vidyadutt
