Sharing your USB Drive with your Windows VPS

You can forward the USB drive to your server via Remote Desktop. This will then allow the USB drive to be seen from your Remote Desktop server.

To forward the drive, you'll want to do the following:

1. Open your local Remote Desktop Connection program
2. Click the "Options" button
3. Click the "Local Resources" tab
4. Click "More" for the local devices andd resources section
5. Check the "Drives" box to ensure all drives are forwarded.

Now you'll just need to reconnect to your server via Remote Desktop and your USB drive (given it is plugged into your local machine) should be available on the remote server.
