Usb device redirection for remote systems

A computer implemented method of redirecting control of a device at a client computer to a server computer, the method comprising:

• receiving a first request and second request for the device;
• sending the first request to a simulated USB device at the server computer,
• receiving feedback that the first request was processed by a local USB device, wherein the feedback is sent before the first request is actually processed by the local USB device;
• in response to the feedback, sending the second request to the client computer.

A remote system comprising:

• a server computer;
• a client computer in communication with the server computer;
• a device connected to the client computer;
• a redirected USB device at the client computer, wherein the redirected USB device is not treated as an actual USB device;
• a generic USB driver at the client computer, wherein the generic USB driver is configured to communicate with the redirected USB device and an application;
• and
• a simulated USB driver at the server computer, wherein the simulated USB driver is treated as the actual USB device instead of the redirected USB device, and wherein the simulated USB driver receives requests for the device from the server side application.
