Welcome to the forums. Please read the

Sasquatach,
thank you for the suggestion, but i've read all faq and howto before create this post!
anyway USB is enable on guest and also USB is enable on RDP client (xp remote desktop client).
When Usb pen drive connected on Host, xubuntu guest can read the pen drive.
When pen drive connected on xp remote desktop client xubuntu guest cannot read the pen drive !

Have you tried this with an XP VM, or another machine on the network capable of accepting RDP sessions?

I meant to try and RDP to a bare metal install of XP or similar with the USB option.
There are other RDP clients, but those are often not for windows.
