With the most recent distributions of Linux, and their GUI environment, mounting a USB key is automatically done when inserting the key. Yet, sometimes, it is useful to mount it yourself (for instance, when running Linux in level 3).
Once the key is inserted, the generic command is
sudo mount /media/sda1 /media/your_usb_directory |
where the /media/your_usb_directory is the directory where the usb will be mounted. it must exists. And /media/sda1 is the USB device. It may be different on different systems. The generic name is sdxx (e.g. sda1, sdb2, sdc2,…).
Finally, use the umount command once done before removing the key:
sudo umount /media/sda1 |
