I actually looked at the USB-over-IP project's documentation a while ago, when a potential customer might have needed USB support. It seems, however, that their approach is unidirectional, unless you're using Linux on both ends. In other words, with what they offer, it's possible to share USB devices connected to a Linux box (i.e. remotely controlling a USB scanner, to save the file directly on your client), but not connected to a Windows or macOS box. So it wouldn't work for passing through client-side USB webcams to the host, for example. If somebody proves me wrong here, I'd actually be happy about it. ;-) References: <https://www.heise.de/select/ix/2016/2/1454730392228766> (in German) <http://usbip.sourceforge.net/> (in English) -Stefan -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243 _______________________________________________ x2go-dev mailing list x2go-dev@lists.x2go.org https://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-dev
