• The virtual media access mode allows you to set the access mode for mapped drives to read-
only or read-write. When the access mode is read-only, the user will not be able to write data
to the mapped drive on the client server. When the access mode is read-write, the user will be
able to read and write data from/to the mapped drive. If the mapped drive is read-only by
design (for example, a CD-ROM drive, DVD-ROM drive or ISO images), the configured read-
write access mode will be ignored. Setting the read-only mode can be helpful when a read-
write drive such as a mass storage device or a USB removable media is mapped, and you
wish to prevent the user from writing data to it.
You can have one DVD drive and one mass storage device mapped concurrently. A CD drive,
DVD drive, or ISO disk image file is mapped as a virtual CD/DVD drive.
Smart card
You can connect a smart card reader to an available USB port on the client server and access an
