Your file is a tad too big. The typical thumb drive uses a FAT32 file system. The maximum size file that type of file system can handle is 4 gigabytes. Reformat the thumb drive with either an exFAT file system, or a Linux EXT4 file system, and then do your copying to the new file system.

I don’t believe exFAT works with windows does it?

Perhaps it is only incompatible when the drive was formatted using Apple? Otherwise exFAT should work with windows it appears.
