Warning: If you have a sensitive data on your PC then do not use this or use at your own risk because of It maybe possible that your server is infected or hacker can access your files. Many peoples use it only for printing, etc.

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.
