you said you were mounting the floppy on /foo

Thus to copy files there you would issue

cp filename /foo
This can be done for one or many filenames.
then after the disk activity ends you verify the files copied with
ls /foo.
you should now see the files you copied.
Finally dismount the floppy with

umount /foo

Redhat (by default) creates a directory named /mnt/floppy
and if you do

mount /dev/fd0

it will mount the floppy on the default mount point (/mnt/floppy). In 
this case the copy command would be:

cp filename /mnt/floppy
and the listing of the files would be
ls /mnt/floppy

Then the unmount command would be
umount /dev/fd0
or
umount /mnt/floppy
