Network USB

Network USB is the program with which one can work with the remote USB devices over a local network or Internet as if they were connected directly to a local PC. Usually, when one needs to use any USB device (like scanner, flash-memory, etc) he/she plugs it into USB port of your computer. But for all that, the device is accessible only for the computer it is plugged into. And what if someone else needs to use the same USB device? All one has to do is to install USB over Network Server on the PC where USB devices are plugged in. USB over Network Client must be installed on the PCs you want to give access to those very USB devices you've already plugged in. That's all.

USB over Network general features:

Allows to work with remote USB devices as with local ones
Unlimited USB devices can be shared on server
Unlimited USB devices can be accessed from client
Wide variety of USB devices is supported
Auto-sharing of new USB devices
Auto-sharing exclude list
Auto-connecting of USB devices which got shared on the server
USB devices safe removal is supported

Compatibility: Developed for Linux and Microsoft Windows Vista, XP, 2000, 2003 Server, Server 2008, USB v1.1 and USB v2.0, hardware Universal Serial Bus controllers, Hyper-Threading Technology, multiprocessor platforms, true Plug-and-Play.

What I liked about the program: there is no need to move USB devices from one computer to another or occupy others' PCs to work with USB device, no need to buy additional expensive equipment, USB over Network Client is free.
