Well, you may not need to.
It is common for USB sticks (which look like discs to the OS) to
be formatted with a FAT32 filesystem (a Windows format) because
almost everything can read and write that.
It is not a great filesystem, but it is very portable. You can
insert such a USB stick into a Windows machine, or a Linux machine,
a Mac, or many common embedded machine such as blu-ray players and
TVs, and all can read the data on it.
So, if your Linux system does not mount the stick automatically
you can probably mount it like this:
mkdir /mnt/usb-stick
mount -t vfat /dev/sdX1 /mnt/usb-stick
You will need to replace "sdX1" with an specific device name. When you
insert a USB stick the kernel will allocate it a device name and recite
it in the kernel log. So issue the command:
dmesg
At the bottom you will find text like this:
[9490472.257322] scsi 19:0:0:0: Direct-Access 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 4
[9490472.257429] sd 19:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg7 type 0
[9490472.258050] sd 19:0:0:0: [sdh] 250272768 512-byte logical blocks: (128 GB/119 GiB)
[9490472.258595] sd 19:0:0:0: [sdh] Write Protect is off
[9490472.258599] sd 19:0:0:0: [sdh] Mode Sense: 45 00 00 00
[9490472.259045] sd 19:0:0:0: [sdh] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA
[9490472.262048] sdh: sdh1
[9490472.264036] sd 19:0:0:0: [sdh] Attached SCSI removable disk
From this you can deduce that the mount command should be:
mount -t vfat /dev/sdh1 /mnt/usb-stick
Once that is done, you can cd into /mnt/usb-stick and copy or remove files and so forth.
When finished, issue the command:
umount /mnt/usb-stick
before unplugging the USB stick.
