USB port on a dumb device - Network write

[Nacman]

I have some spectrum analyzers in my radio shop that have USB ports on them. The ports are used for saving reports of radio's tests onto a thumb drive. The ports are also used to update the internal firmware of the device. Unfortunately, the report that gets written to the thumb drive has to be sneaker net to another PC to print it out. The spectrum analyzers do not have the ability to add drivers but they do recognize USB thumb drives obviously. What I need to find out is if there is a piece of hardware that will act like a thumb drive on the USB side and then write the contents or make the contents available via a share and be network accessible without unplugging the thumb drive from the analyzer. So it would be a "smart thumb drive with network connectivity (wired or wireless) that the network side of the device could be configure prior to plugging it in? Does what I am asking make sense?

They do make WIFI SD cards that can be access, and possible a USB-card reader MIGHT in theory work. In theory. You'd want to only get a USB to SD-card reader though, not the multiple card readers as they usually show up as 5 or 6 drives when connected to a PC. About the only option I can think of.

I am going to try that! Thanks.
