You'll have to mount the USB drive with mount command,
unless it's automounted. Something like this
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/USB
/dev/sda1 is the device, the name might be something else
/mnt/USB is the directory, where it is mounted, the directory must
exist before you do the above. Also note that yo'll have to this as
a superuser.

hi,
To read your usb flash memory, you have to finish the following steps:
1. Plug in your usb flash memory, and then check this SCSI device:
#lsusb or #/proc/scsi/scsi
2. Find exact path for your flash memory. (Since usb disks map onto scsi)
#demsg | grep -i "SCSI device"
then you can get the usb location: such as: /dev/sdb or /dev/sda, etc.
3. Inspect the partitions on the usb device
#fdisk -l /dev/sdb (sdb is my case, for yours, you can get from last step)
then you can get information of the partition which consists of partition of your device such as: "/dev/sdb1"
4. Add the following line into /etc/fstab
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbdrive vfat defaults 0 0
5. Create directory "usbdrive" in /mnt then mount it
mnt#mkdir usbdrive
mnt#mount usbdirve
So far, you can read your usb flash memory.
Remember unmount it after using it
#umount /mnt/usbdrive
Hopefully, you can get some ideas.
