USB for Remote Desktop Workstation Help > Overview

Overview

Access your local USB devices while working in remote Windows session.

Moreover, this functionality can be easily integrated into your software.

Common Problem

Sometimes, while working in remote desktop, you need access to your local devices. You can easily redirect disk drive or a printer into remote Windows session. But why can't you redirect all the rest of your USB devices just as easily?

Unfortunately there is no standard way to make local USB devices available in remote Windows session. The only standard solution is plugging USB device directly to the remote server. But in the most of cases that is not acceptable.
