Copying to dev in the actual directory seems somewhat confusing. 
Probably you did mean
cp -R Documents /dev/disk1s1/www
but even that is wrong. If you insert an usb stick, the actual
file system (which is _not_ the device) will be mounted at
/media/.../
where  ... will be replaced by the actual name, e.g. KINGSTON
for an Kingston manufacted USB stick. Simply do a
ls /media
and you will find your USB stick inbetween.
