Did you unmount the USB drive before removing it? In Unix systems it's important to unmount removables otherwise the changes will not be written to it successfully.

    I can not copy a file to a USB flash drive (tested with two Transcend flash drives). I tried to copy using Nautilus, Thunar and terminal cp. After copying the file is displayed on the flash drive, but if you insert it into another computer or put out and put it back - it does not exist.

      Any file in general or a specific file? If second is true, what kind of file?

      Sorry if it's a stupid question, but are you sure there's no problem in the USB it's self ?
