USB Redirector works as background service:

USB Redirector works as a background service, this means you don't have to keep the app open all the time. Once you have configured the program, you can safely close it. USB Redirector will continue to work even when no user is logged in or after reboot. All the devices that you have shared will remain shared.

Free client is available!

We provide a light-weight USB Redirector Client that can be used to connect USB devices shared with full-featured USB Redirector. USB Redirector Client is absolutely free if you redirect devices between Windows-based computers (commercial license is required to connect to Linux-based systems). It is available for download in the Downloads section.

Redirect USB device in 5 steps:
  • Step 1: Install USB Redirector on a computer where USB devices which you want to redirect are physically attached. This computer will act as USB server.
  • Step 2: Share required USB device on USB server.

Sharing a USB device

/ NOTE: when USB device is shared, it can not be used locally, because it is acquired for individual usage by remote USB clients! To make the device available locally again, you need to unshare it.
  • Step3. Install USB Redirector Client on a computer where you need to use USB devices remotely. This will be your USB client.
  • Step4. Create a direct connection from USB client to USB server or callback connection from USB server to USB client.

Adding a USB server
