I'll answer with something a little bit like Joe's answer.  On my daily 
working machine, which uses Wheezy, I use Dophin as a file manager.

After I plug in a USB stick, after a few seconds (maybe up to 20??), a new 
entry appears on the left hand list of partitions in Dolphin.  If I click on 
that, the files are displayed in the (current working) pane of Dolphin, and I 
can use the mouse to drag and drop them, open them, or similar.

The top of that dophin pane shows where the device is mounted, for example, 
/media/84BE-2329/.

If I then go to a CLI and refer to that mountpoint, I can access the files.

To anticipate an answer to your potential next question, there is no 
pmount.allow file on this computer.

I may try the same thing on my future daily working machine, using Jessie 
(and, iiuc, systemd or whatever it is called).  If I try that, I'll let you 
know.
