Downloading directly to a USB flash drive like with windows?

Asked by Michael R. Dahlgren

I would just simply like to download files directly to a usb flash drive just like you can with windows. Windows gives you the option to RUN a file or SAVE a file to the drive of your choice. I want to do this with Linux Ubuntu 11.10 because i am running the live version because i only have a 1GB hard drive. If someone could PLEASE tell me how to do this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Tell your browser to always ask where to save the file, rather than autosaving to ~/Downloads

Can you help with this problem?
