You can share the device by its unique ID (an example below shows how to share USB Optical Mouse from the list above):
$ /opt/ftusbrdp/bin/ftusbrdpctl share 203
NOTE: Sharing by the device ID allows you to share separately one of the devices that have identical VID:PID:REV.

$ /opt/ftusbrdp/bin/ftusbrdpctl unshare 203
