USing USB port through xp RDP desktop
I am trying to use a usb device though remote desktop, but do not see an option to share a USB port. If that is not possible, is there a way to make the system see that USB device as a serial device?
Has anyone ever done this before?

Remote Desktop Connection - HELP
To copy and paste a file from a local computer to a remote computer
Use Remote Desktop Connection to establish a connection to a remote computer.
Click Start on the task bar of the remote computer, and then click My Computer, or double-click the My Computer icon on the desktop of the remote computer.
When Windows Explorer opens on the remote computer, it displays the drives on the remote computer, as well as the drives on your local computer (the computer at which you are currently sitting). The following example shows how the drives on your local computer are named when they appear in Windows Explorer on the remote computer.
<driveletter> on tsclient
tsclient is the name that Remote Desktop Connection assigns to your local computer.
Right-click the file residing on your local computer that you want to transfer to the remote computer, and then click Copy.
Navigate in the same Windows Explorer window to the location on the remote computer where you want to paste the file.
Right-click the folder icon and then click Paste.

if it is a usb drive (meaning it has a drive letter) than you can share a drive, but they may not access it because they aren't a member of your workgroup, nor have you given their computername or username access to your computer
