Abstract
A system for redirecting a local device to a remote system includes a proxy configured to communicate with a remote access module. The remote access module is configured to establish a remote access connection between a system and a remote system. The proxy is configured to receive socket connection information for establishing a socket connection between the system and the remote system. The proxy is also configured to receive, from the remote system over the socket connection, at least one device transaction designated for a virtual device local to the remote system. The virtual device may correspond with a Universal Serial Bus device locally connected to the system. A system for automatically redirecting a local device to a remote system, as well as a system for utilizing a local device of a remote system, are also provided. Methods and machine-readable media are also provided.
