I wish to run an application via Winflector which needs to support local printing, document scanning, COM port communication and saving files to disk. How can I make the application look and behave as if it were running locally?

Ideally I would like only USB and COM port devices attached to the client machine to be visible and available. I would also like the file system of the client only to be visible when saving files to disk. The application automatically exports certain reports and saves them to a local C drive folder. With the testing I have done, they are saved to the relevant path on the server. How can I make it so that files save to the same path on the client machine?

Winflector allows applications to use local COM ports and local disks. As for now Winflector does not support local USB.

For access to local filesystem please use the option 'Enable client filesystem mapping', then restart the server. After this applications can access the client filesystem under c:\wfmount.

Thanks Bozena. This thread from 2011 suggests that support for local USB ports is planned for future versions. Is this something that is likely to be supported anytime soon?

If not, is there a workaround to achieve printing to local USB printers and image scanning from local USB scanning devices?

In order to redirect saving to the "wfmount" folder, what is the best way to establish that the application has been launched via Winflector Client?

You can map local USB printers to the server via Winflector.

Almost everything can be done using Winflector API and Remote Procedure Call mechanism. You can create your own dll library with support for USB devices, distribute such a dll automatically to all clients and call dll functions from applications running on the server.
