title: Using a remote host's USB port as local USB (Linux and Windows)
body: <p>I have a USB device that reads data from a system and transfers them to the computer. I am wondering if it's possible to have a Linux single board PC (i.e. Raspberry Pi) to run a script and be a remote-server for my USB device and I can connect to that "remote-server"(Linux) through SSH or FTP or another protocol (over the Internet) and mount that USB port to my computer. Any software would do it, you know how terminal service connects the remote resources, and I need the same, but preferably on a Linux board.</p>
  
  <p>My system is Windows&nbsp;7, so I need to mount that remote-USB as a "local port" so the software thinks it's communicating locally, and it'll find the reader.</p>
