Another thought:
I have been known to cd to the directory on the flash drive containing 
the files to be copied, usually when I'm selectively copying a number of 
files.  Advantage is that you can easily copy/paste the file name(s). 
Down side is that you've got to remember to cd out of the flash drive 
before it'll umount.
