Choose local disk drives, devices, and other resources that you want to redirect to a remote computer. Redirecting a resource makes it available for use in a remote session. For example, a redirected local disk drive will be available in a remote application, so you can read from and write to it.
The following options are available:
Clipboard. Select this option to enable the clipboard in a remote session. Click the Configure button and choose clipboard redirection from one of the following: Bidirectional (allows to copy in both directions), Server to client only, Client to server only.
Disk drives. Select this option and then click Configure Drives. See the Configure Drives subsection below for details.
Devices. Select this option and then click Configure Devices. Devices that are currently connected to your local computer will appear in the list. This includes supported Plug and Play devices, media players based on the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), and digital cameras based on the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP). If a device is connected to your computer but does not appear in the list, it means it is not a supported Plug and Play device. Please note that disk drives and smart cards are excluded from this list (you redirect them using dedicated Disk drives and Smart cards options). The Show previously connected devices option displays devices that are not currently connected but were connected previously.
Printers. Select this option to redirect printers.
Serial ports. Select this option to redirect serial ports.
Smart cards. Select this option to redirect smart cards.
Cameras. Specifies cameras to redirect from a user device to the remote session. This is a high-level redirection that allows to redirect a composite USB device, such as a webcam with a microphone. When this option is selected, and you click Configure, a dialog opens where you can select the following options:
All — all currently connected devices will be used
Specific only — use only the selected devices
Limit camera resolution to 720p — limit camera resolution to save data
Use also devices that I plug in later — a device that is plugged in after a session is started will also be used

To map a directory, click the Add button and specify the following:
Share Point: Type the drive name as you want it to appear during a remote session (e.g. sd2). Please note that share names must be unique, use Latin characters only, and cannot be longer than seven characters.
Mount Point: Type a local Linux directory you would like to map (e.g. /home).
Click OK to save the new drive information. The new drive will appear in the Configure Drives dialog. To edit an existing drive, click Edit. To delete a drive, click Delete.
You can enable or disable disk drives by selecting or clearing a corresponding checkbox. To enable all drives, select the Use all disk drives available option.
