I am runny Puppy Linux on a 512MB USB drive. Being able to share files between this device and my PC is a must. I am sure that there are other methods, but I have found one method so far that works for me.

I create my documents using AbiWord and screenshots using mtPaint. AbiWord allows you to save your files in multiple formats so finding a compatible format for my PC is not an issue and MtPaint saves files as PNG’s which is also a cross plat-formed format.

Saving my files to Linux’s default location when I am ready to move files over to my PC I click on Home on Puppy’s desktop and then My Documents. I then click on Drives also on the desktop and click the device I want to mount. (In Linux you must first mounted a device in order to accesses files on the device.)

Mounting a device will spawn a new window showing the contents of that device at its root. Simply drag the files from Linux to the mounted device. Be careful to choose the appropriate option when prompted to select copy or move.
