Connect as USB Media Storage and your pc should be able to locate your phone. Transfer how you usually transfer files onto a USB

Come on guys, he's asked for a method to move them from the phone to the PC using USB. Stop giving him the easy route and give him the hard core route.
In your case I'd get a USB OTG cable, USB memory stick, plug the stick into the USB OTG cable, plug the USB OTG cable into the phone, open a file browser copy/cut & paste the files from your phone on to the stick, remove the USB OTG cable from phone, remove memory stick from USB OTG cable, plug USB memory stick into your PC. Et Voila, you have a long winded method of getting your files off the phone.
Otherwise use your charging cable whilst connected to your PC as the others have said.

Eh? Don't be ridiculous.
Here:
1) Install Kies to get Drivers
2) Terminate Kies
3) Download Odin
4) Download CWM / TWRP / Philz recovery
5) Boot into Download Mode
6) Connect USB cable
7) Flash recovery via Odin
8) Power off device
9) Boot into recovery
10) Download the Android SDK
11) Set adb.exe in environment path (or drop into system32)
12) reboot windows
13) Start adb shell in command prompt
14) Use adb pull / adb push to move files

SG S3 recorevy files problem
about your post, i got a problem and i hope u can help me.
I got a SG S3 -16 Gb, that only can boot in recovery and download mode but not android, and unfortunately i got files that i need to copy from INTERNAL SD.
I already tried with CWM 5.5 and 6.03 to mount /sdcard, but when i select do nothing! (not even and error message) sso the option mount USB storage doesn´t put available.
I tried with PhilzTouch340 and doesn´t show me the option to mount /sdcard and y neigther mount USB storage.
What can i do to copy or pull the files that i need from the phone to PC from recovery or download mode?
ADB option works from recovery mode?
Thanks.
