  Telly,

But you should not have had to do that if the file size is less than the
amount of free space on the drive. (Also, from your original post, I
thought you were trying to copy *from* the flash drive.) You can call
the command df when the drive is mounted to see how much space you have.

You should be able to fill the free space without error. One thing to
check is the amount of "secure area" on that flash drive and try setting
it to zero if it is not already zero. I don't know how to do this under
Linux, but there are utilities (which often are provided with the drive
or at the manufacturer's web site) which can set the secure area size
under MS Windows:
