No Machine: physical device forwarding

Question

Is there anyway on No Machine to allow the server machine to have access to client devices, such as the webcam and wireless card of the viewing machine? I can only find the reverse process online.

Thank you

There is a guide on the NoMachine website which gives you your answer.

Here's the content of the original guide as suggested by the moderator:

4.3. Connect a USB Device

Share devices plugged into your local computer (client) with the remote computer (server) and vice-versa. Access USB external drives, USB webcams and microphones for VOIP support, scanners, barcode readers, and more.

E.g. Attaching an external drive from the local computer to the remote desktop.

Step 1 – Plug in your USB drive on your local desktop

Step 2 - Connect to the remote/virtual desktop

Step 3 - Open the menu panel (Ctrl-Alt-0) and select the external drive from 'Local devices' (Fig. 9)

Step 4 – Click Done. It will show up in your remote drives/devices when you next browse them on the remote host

If you wish to access a drive which is already plugged in to your remote computer, follow steps 2, 3 and 4.
