How to create F drive in the first image
I was post this as preview, When you connect your local drive with RDP/VPS then F drive will be automatically created. (F Drive = Your local disk drive)

it's possible to access your PC Disk/Pen Drive/Printer on Linux VPS?
Maybe possible but I did not use Linux VPS however RDP is also available for Linux server.(I never use RDP and always use SSH so I am not sure that you can do this with Linux)


What are the next pictures after Step 4? :D
After Step 4 you will get a warning like.

Install USB Network Gate and start it. Find the required USB port/device in the “Local USB devices” tab and click “Share” next to it. Connect to the remote desktop via Remote Desktop Connection. Once you are done with the setup, click 'Finish
