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.
