6.3.3 Drive redirection

The Drive Redirection is another possibility to use a virtual disc drive on the remote

computer. With Drive Redirection you do not have to use an image file but may work with a

drive from your local computer on the remote machine. The drive is hereby shared over a

TCP network connection. Devices such as floppy drives, hard discs, CD ROMs and other

removable devices like USB sticks can be redirected. It is even possible to enable a write

support so that for the remote machine it is possible to write data to your local disc.

Figure 6-14. Options of Drive Redirection

Please note that Drive Redirection works on a level which is far below the operating system.

That means that neither the local nor the remote operating system is aware that the drive is

currently redirected, actually. This may lead to inconsistent data as soon as one of the

operating systems (either from the local machine, or from the remote host) is writing data

on the device. If write support is enabled the remote computer might damage the data and

the file system on the redirected device. On the other hand, if the local operating system

writes data to the redirected device the drive cache of the operating system of the remote

host might contain older data. This may confuse the remote host’s operating system. We

recommend to use the Drive Redirection with care, especially the write support.
