USB over Ethernet

USB over Ethernet is a professional application designed to provide you with the possibility to access USB devices remotely, over your computer's network.

This tool can prove very helpful in those situations when the files that you immediately need are actually located on a USB drive plugged into a computer in another building or even in a different city, hundreds of miles away.

The tool installs both the server and client parts on the same computer, allowing for easy sharing of connected devices, and requires only the client to access shared items.

USB over Ethernet comes with a simple interface that is easy-to-use right from the start, even if you haven't worked with it before. No special knowledge is required for either sharing or accessing the devices you want.

Given that it is a professional tool, the app comes at a price, yet its usability might offset the cost, especially in those situations when you need access to a remote drive in order to be able to continue your work. A free USB over Ethernet Client for connecting shared USB devices is also provided.

The application allows you to work with USB 1.1, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0 devices, and is also Hyper-V and VMware compatible. It also offers support for high-speed isochronous USB devices.

With this tool, you can force the connection to a shared drive from the server side, or you can set auto-connection and auto-sharing for specific devices. Failed network connections will automatically reconnect.

The utility places a System Tray icon meant to provide you with fast access to functionality such as share / unshare and connect / disconnect. It also enables you to deny the sharing of or connection to a specific drive.

Overall, USB over Ethernet is a handy application for work environments, and can easily prove highly appreciated in those situations when you've forgotten a USB drive at home or elsewhere. It does come at a cost, but its ease-of-use and fast performance can easily offset that.
