USB for Remote Desktop is a program that allows USB devices to be used in remote desktop session, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) or cloud instance. It works with Microsoft RDP, Citrix ICA, Amazon NICE DCV, VMware Blast and Teradici PCoIP protocols. USB devices are precisely emulated on the remote side, so you can use literally any device in the remote session, even the most exotic, like cryptography tokens, medical, laboratory or industrial equipment, 3d printers and more.

USB for Remote Desktop is an application for redirecting USB devices to your remote session. It redirects any USB devices to remote desktop environments over Microsoft RDP, Citrix ICA, Amazon NICE DCV, VMware Blast and Teradici PCoIP protocols. The remote server handles redirected USB peripherals as if they were directly plugged into the remote side. The program consists of Server and Workstation parts. The Workstation part should be installed on the local workstation and the Server part goes to the remote server you are connecting to. USB for Remote Desktop Server makes redirected USB devices available for logged in user. To connect the required device simply click on the USB for Remote Desktop icon in the tray context menu in your remote session and select the device from the list.
