Command-line syntax cheat sheet

Notation	Example	Description
Text without brackets	command	Items which must be typed as shown.
Text in square brackets	[optional]	Optional parameter.
Text in angle brackets	<value>	Placeholder for user-provided values.
Text in curly braces	{ required_value =0\|=1 }	Group of required choices. At least one option must be included.
Pipe	option_1\|option_2	Divider between alternative options. Only one option can be selected.

Run the command line utility:

$ /opt/ftusbrdp/bin/ftusbrdpctl <command> [options]

To see the list of all supported commands, run:

$ /opt/ftusbrdp/bin/ftusbrdpctl help

To see the list of the devices available:

$ /opt/ftusbrdp/bin/ftusbrdpctl list 
ID    VID  PID  REV   Location     Status  Device name
0006  0bda:8771:0200       1-1     Shared  Bluetooth Radio
0005  0c45:6341:0000       5-2     Shared  USB 2.0 Camera
0004  1a2c:4094:0110       1-4   Unshared  USB Keyboard
0003  093a:2510:0100       1-5   Unshared  USB Optical Mouse
0002  152d:0567:2105       6-1     Shared  PHD 3.0 Silicon-Power

Here the columns are:

ID: Unique device identifier.
VID:PID:REV: Device hardware identifier (vendor ID, product ID, revision).
Location: USB device topology (can be "unknown" if your system cannot report the device topology).
Device name and status: Displays the name of the device and its current status (shared/unshared/connected).

You can share the device by its unique ID (an example below shows how to share USB mass storage device from the list above):

$ /opt/ftusbrdp/bin/ftusbrdpctl share 2

NOTE: Sharing by the device ID allows you to share separately one of the devices that have identical VID:PID:REV.

To unshare the device use unshare command with the same syntax as share:

$ /opt/ftusbrdp/bin/ftusbrdpctl unshare 2

To view details about the device:

$ /opt/ftusbrdp/bin/ftusbrdpctl info 2
