pendrive problem in rdesktop

Hi all,

I am facing problem in accessing pendrive in WIN2008 server through rdesktop.
Anybody knows how to fix this issue ?
Please help.

Clarification might be needed.  Are you trying to access a local device (which is not on the remote machine)?  If so, are you sure this is a feature of rdesktop?

yes i am trying to access local device.
In rdesktop there is an option ( -r usb=(path where usb is mounted ) to redirect your usb mass storage device.

Are you sure? No mention of that in the rdesktop man page. Google says the -r usb is a feature of the virtualbox fork of rdesktop, not the original.
edit: and only to virtualbox, not a standard RDP server...

Sorry i have written wrong there.
The correct command is rdesktop -r disk:usb=path to mount point

If i try to map pendrive to win2008 server using above command then i cannot access pendrive ie i cannot read or write into pendrive.
