Sharing USB for Remote Desktop

September 7th, 2008 | by admin |

FabulaTech has created an interesting software package that works in Windows and Linux to communicate with USB devices over a network.  USB for a remote Desktop has a client and server software that apparently tunnels USB transactional commands from one computer to another allowing the remote computer to use the USB device as if it were directly attached.

The supported USB devices are Mass Storage Class: Flash Drive, Card Reader, CDROM drive, Hard Disk drive, iPods.  The Human Interface Class: keyboard, mouse, joystick, Barcode scanner.   Communications Class devices: Modem, serial port, wifi, bluetooth. mobile phones, BlackBerries, Pocket PC.  Printer Device Class, Printer, FAX.  Sound Class devices: microphone, speakers. Other devices such as USB weight scales and security dongles are listed.

FabulaTech’s web page also states that no USB device driver is required for the USB device to be available for the remote user.  The price of the software is listed as $200 with 15 day trial download.

    I don’t really understand why this merits a standalone product. Remote access products can all offer this USB storage and access functionality, along with fully functioning remote desktop software capabilities. It is always puzzling when people take aspects of existing programs and sell those services as if they are new.

    I think this is a great way to share files over remote computers. It seems like email would work as well for this options but maybe not depending on the size of the file your sending.
