Common Problem

While working in remote Windows session, it is possible to access local disk or printer since RDP allows redirecting it. But why can't you redirect all the rest of your USB devices just as easily?

USB for Remote Desktop
Sometimes, it's necessary to access remote USB devices on a local computer.
In such case USB over Network is ideal solution.

How It Works

The program consists of a Server and a Workstation. Workstation is installed on the computer to which the USB device is physically plugged (usually it's Thin Client computer). Server should be installed on the remote side to which you are logging in. Once you are logged into remote Windows session, your local USB devices appear on the remote side.
