X is a connection between the remote machine and a machine close to
the user. It would be convenient if the remote machine could talk to
a USB stick plugged into the machine close to the user. One way to do
this would be by piggybacking the traffic to the USB stick onto the X
traffic; an alternative would be to do it through ssh.
