Copying files from mac to windows using a pendrive

[riovile]

Hi, I just wanted to ask. Is it possible for me to copy files from a Mac OS to a Windows OS using a pen drive? Will the files be accessible in my Windows station?

As long as the drive is FAT formatted, it can be read and written on both Mac and Windows, just remember to cleanly shut down after copying files to it via 'eject' or 'safely remove hardware'.

What is a "windows station" ?

He probably means the PC.

but yeah, I think most USB drives are formatted as FAT32 so they would be compatible between mac and PC.
Just make sure to safely eject on the PC side before plugging it into a mac or else it won't mount on the mac.
