Try formatting by the hardware you're going to transfer files from FreeBSD, if available. Once formatted by other OS, read/write/delete files in FAT32 formatted media would be OK with FreeBSD. If not, and if the file you want to transfer is small enough, partition the media and use FAT16. (The safest maximum is 32MB, but maybe under 2GB would be OK.)
