Connect a pen drive and launch dmesg commend in shell. Attach those information

If the driver load correctly, you can mount pen drive with this simple command:
Create a directory where to mount the drive:

$sudo mkdir /media/pen_drive

Mount pen drive on this directory:
$sudo mount /dev/sdb1 -t auto /media/pen_drive

NOTE that sdb1 is a drive name, you look at this with command dmesg.

Access the files:
$cd /media/pen_drive

Remove pen drive:
$sudo umount /media/pen_drive
