What are the software or hardware technologies for distributing usb?

Question

USB

Clients have 2 ESXi. Sometimes you need to stick a flash drive from one ESXi to another host, since you need to forward the usb to a virtual machine on the 2nd esxi. You have to drive through the whole city in order to poke a flash drive. I learned a little about usbip, if I use ubuntu 16.04 as a usbip server, then I can’t forward keys to windows machines. Perhaps I didn’t fully understand usbip, but maybe there are other technologies like usbip? Or can it be done in some other way?

Answer 1

usbip and on the window works, but through the stump deck.
There is a strictly positive experience with Anywhere USB , namely in terms of key forwarding, and from different vendors.

Answer 2

If this is a hardware protection network key and the program accesses it via tcp / udp, then you can try to forward the port to which the program accesses, and tell the program where to look for the key.
With some keys, this option works if the explicit presence of the key in the usb port is not required.
