Original USB device drivers and applications can be also used for remote USB devices without any modification of them. To share USB devices between computers with their full functionality, USB/IP encapsulates 'USB I/O messages' into TCP/IP payloads and transmits them between computers. I've included links to the commercial products at the end of this reply. There are also at least three commercial products that provide this functionality with better documentation and UI. There is an open source project called usbip that provides functionality to share and/or mount a remote USB device over an IP network (LAN/Internet).
