I had opened a Pen-Drive in my system and I thought to open my Pen-Drive from terminal and copy the needed file from system to Pen-Drive from terminal only. But I was wondering how I can do that. Can you please suggest me procedure for doing the same?

Actually all mounted devices including system partitions will be in a directory named as media.
Open your terminal and type the following one after one
cd /
cd media
There you can find your partitions including your Pen-Drive or USB device.
Next with cp command you can copy and paste the data from Pen-Drive to system and vice-versa.
Syntax:
cp <source-path> <destination-path>

When I type whatever you said and then type ls, it is not showing me anything. I mean in media, it is not showing me anything. Why? – hellodear May 22 '14 at 14:03

If you change to media with
cd /mediathen you will find your username there. so you have to do likecd /media/<username_here>– Raja G May 23 '14 at 05:43 -
