To see the list of all supported commands, run:

$ /opt/ftusbnet/bin/ftusbnetctl help

To see the list of the devices available:

$ /opt/ftusbnet/bin/ftusbnetctl list 
ID         VID: PID: REV           Location  Device name and status 
107        07d1:3c03:0001               1-2  802.11 bg WLAN /Shared/ 
202        046d:c045:2730               2-1  USB Optical Mouse /Unshared/

Here the columns are:

ID

Unique device identifier.

VID:PID:REV

Device hardware identifier (vendor ID, product ID, revision).

Location

USB device topology (can be "unknown" if your system cannot report the device topology).

Device name and status

Displays the name of the device and its current status (shared/unshared/connected).

You can share the device by its unique ID (an example below shows how to share USB Optical Mouse from the list above):

$ /opt/ftusbnet/bin/ftusbnetctl share 202

NOTE: Sharing by the device ID allows you to share separately one of the devices that have identical VID:PID:REV.

To unshare the device use unshare command with the same syntax as share:

$ /opt/ftusbnet/bin/ftusbnetctl unshare 202
