USB redirection is a method through which remote users can access USB devices without installing drivers or having hardware interfaces available on their computers. USB traffic is redirected from a centralized server that has the necessary drivers installed to interact with the associated devices. Network-attached users can then connect to the peripheral equipment and make use of its full functionality.
Redirect USB devices to virtual environments
The core function of USB Redirector is to make every USB peripheral accessible from your virtual machine over network, plus the ones directly connected to a local host. With this app, for all your upcoming VM sessions, you won't ever have to deal with limited USB connectivity issues.
Redirecting USB traffic to RDP
FlexiHub is a simple and effective way to redirect USB devices to a remote desktop. By contrast with some similar software tools, FlexiHub has a catch-all interface with no distinguished server-side and client-side apps. You’ll be presented with a list comprising each and every USB device you can forward to your RDP session.
Share USB peripheral equipment with teammates
USB Redirector is a solution suitable for any organization that wishes to make better use of its USB-compatible peripheral equipment. Devices such as printers, scanners, and external drives can be shared with users in the same office or located on the other side of the world. All that is needed is FlexiHub and an IP network to add value and functionality to expensive equipment and the users who share it.
Redirect USB devices between Windows, Linux and macOS
USB redirection technology works with virtually all USB devices and supports all popular operating systems. There are versions of the software available for Windows, USB Redirector for Linux, and macOS. It offers the flexibility of cross-platform support with any supported OS able to act as a server with which to share devices with clients of the same or different operating systems.
✓ Private Redirection Server
FlexiHub is a type of USB redirector that can establish connection via its own Redirection Server, i.e. computers participating in the connection will be able to detect each other even without a public IP address to share and access devices remotely.
✓ Secure Connection
For establishing communication and redirecting USB data, FlexiHub uses the 2048-bit SSL encryption. This ensures that no third party gets an unauthorized access to your private information and sensitive data.
✓ Lock Devices
You can regulate access to your USB devices, e.g. if you don't want to use USB redirector with a device, you can lock it. No remote computers in the network will "see" it.
✓ Detect Devices Automatically
FlexiHub detects the type and displays info about the connected devices automatically. This makes it easier for you to identify what device USB Redirector will share, access or, on the contrary, lock the access.
✓ Compress Data
Compressing data helps with USB redirection, as it is transmitted at a higher rate and decreases Internet traffic consumption. There are different compression options you can choose from.
✓ Create login Tokens
Redirection software allows you to create login tokens so that other users could use your account to connect their USB devices over IP. The tokens are a safe way of sharing an account with others without the risk of exposing your login credentials.
