Show USB Redirector RDP Edition allows to redirect USB devices to the remote computer when working via Remote Desktop. It consists of two parts - Server part and Workstation part. So USB devices connected to Workstation become available on remote PC, Virtual Machine or Terminal Server. USB Redirector RDP Edition suits great for Virtual Desktop/VDI solutions where you need to redirect USB devices into remote Virtual Machine.
More and more large and small companies tend to use Virtual Desktop Environment for their employees because it is flexible, simple and secure. Each user, working via the Remote Desktop, may need accessing his/her USB devices attached to a workstation or thin-client, in the RDP session on virtual desktop. And USB Redirector RDP Edition allows to accomplish this! This solution is the most suitable for single-user applications, where one Virtual Machine is used by only one user at a time. It also can be used when redirecting devices to Terminal Server. But please note that due to Windows specifics, all USB devices are global in the system to which they are redirected. For multi-user environments, where you need to isolate USB devices in RDP session, you can use our other solution USB Redirector TS Edition
USB Redirector RDP Edition works as a background service, this means you don't have to keep the app open all the time. Once you have finished configuring the program, you can safely close it. USB Redirector will continue to work even after reboot. Redirect local USB device into a remote session in 4 steps
LicensingOnly the Server part of USB Redirector RDP Edition must be licensed. It means that:
The license allows to connect a certain number of devices. The number of devices is per-server, not per-user. The license should be applied on Terminal Server/Virtual Machine. Workstation part of USB Redirector RDP Edition is FREE. PricingUSB Redirector RDP Edition licenses start from USD 89.99, depending on the number of USB devices. There are quantity discounts if you purchase several licenses at once. Check the Purchasing page for details.

USB over RDP USB over RDP software is an efficient solution tailored for those who want to access USB devices over the Internet, LAN, Wi-Fi, and other networks while working on a remote desktop computer. This dedicated app makes it possible to share any USB port and safely redirect its data over a TCP/IP connection. Modified on: Fri, 10 Jul, 2020 at 10:36 AM USB Network Gate Product Page Suppose, you need to connect to the remote computer via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to perform some actions there. Or, say, your computer is a thin client with limited capabilities, so you connect to a more powerful server each time you need to work. And in this remote desktop session you need to use your USB device which is attached locally. The task becomes even more difficult when one needs an application, which is installed on the server, to access and process the data provided by the USB device. The only solution is to redirect the USB device from your local machine to the server. Currently, RDP clients permit to redirect certain USB devices like printers and USB flash drives, but the list of supported devices is limited (e.g. scanners are not supported). Electronic Team provides you with the solution to this problem! USB Network Gate permits to access any USB device plugged into local machine while working in remote desktop session. In fact, you share USB port, to which you can attach any USB device. Moreover, you can unplug one device, and plug in another one, without any additional configurations. All you need to do is install USB Network Gate on both machines which participate in connection:
Note: Actually, Server and Client parts of USB Network Gate are conveniently united in a single application. Please pay attention that registration is required for the server part only. You do not need to register the client part. Clients will be able to access remote USB devices, which are shared on the server machine, via client module even when trial period expires without any additional configurations. So, once you connect to the server via RDP and establish connection with the shared device, this USB device will appear in the server’s Device Manager and will be recognized by all applications as local one. Note: Since USB Network Gate version 7.x, support for ICA protocol was added. USB devices plugged into a thin client appear in a remote session over ICA. Now let’s see the process of accessing USB port/device in remote desktop session step by step: Your actions on the local machine (thin client) running Windows:
Your actions on the remote server:
Note: Even if access to a shared USB device is password-protected by the server, the password won’t be asked when accessing this shared USB device in remote desktop session. This is caused by the fact, that RDP protocol uses its own password protection. USB Network Gate encryption won’t be used as well, as internal RDP encryption algorithm will be used. USB Device Isolation on WindowsPer-session USB device isolation allows assigning a particular USB device to a particular user, which is extremely useful in multi-user environment. With the help of per-session USB device isolation, it is possible to isolate users’ USB devices in their RDP session, so that they become not visible and accessible by other users. Isolation is currently supported for the following devices: USB Flash Drives and USB cameras in test mode. To enable USB device isolation in RDP session, tick the corresponding option when connecting to the shared USB device over RDP protocol.
