The problem is, you are not the root user. Follow the instructions below:

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+T

  2. Type in the following command and press enter:

    sudo nautilus

  3. Select a file that you want to transfer and send (right click on file, Copy To...) it to any particular location (including, USB).

OR

Follow this:

  1. Press, Ctrl+Alt+T

  2. Use this:

    cp source-address-of-file-including-file destination-address

    In your case: cp /home/username/your-file-name.txt /media/username/your-media-name/

I think you should give it a try and copy/paste or move the files within Terminal.

If not you're not handy with Terminal , its about time mate!

I practically do Everything in terminal after several pumps.

Try using another file manager, like PCManFM:

sudo apt-get install pcmanfm

Start it from the dash. You should be able to copy the files you want.
