Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and method for redirecting control of a client side connected USB device from the client to the server in a remote system. Specifically, the present disclosure creates a simulated USB device at the server. The simulated USB device is treated as a proxy for a redirected USB device at the client. The client side redirected USB device is not treated as the USB device but, rather, acts as a pass through to facilitate communication between requesting applications and the client connected device. The simulated USB device allows an application to send requests for a local device to the simulated USB device at the server. The simulated USB device then processes the requests and forwards the requests to the local device connected to the client.
