== Remote Access

=== To User account and Files
Users with an account can always access their Home Directories, and files, and run basic scripts, by connecting to {{{ ssh YOUR_USERNAME@gw.cosmos-lab.org }}}

Detailed Instructions are at [wiki:./Console Connecting to a Console]

=== To Consoles
The [wiki:UserGuide/RemoteAccess/Console consoles] can be connected to the same way as above, with the following differences:
1. Consoles can be connected to only during a [wiki:GettingStarted#MakeaReservation].
1. Consoles can run OMF commands to control [wiki:Resources] within their [wiki:Architecture/Domains Domain]
1. Consoles share a [wiki:Architecture/Network#ControlPlane Control] network with [wiki:Resources] within their [wiki:Architecture/Domains Domain]

=== To Resources

* Resources can be interacted with by running commands from a Console.
* For example:
* Using [wiki:UserGuide/OmfQuickStart OMF commands] to
 * Turn resources on/off
 * Load and save images
 * Run OEDL Scripts with OMF exec
* Use SSH from a console to open an interactive session with a compute resource.
* Use SSH with X11 Forwarding to view a graphical window from a resource on your local machine

=== Direct Access to Resources
This is an advanced topic. In the event that bridging through a console adds unacceptable overhead too your use case, the following options are available:

* Use SSH [https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/ssh-proxy-bastion-proxyjump ProxyJump] and similar commands to automate the connection though the console
* Use the [wiki:UserGuide/RemoteAccess/VPN VPN] to route arbitrary network traffic from the [wiki:Network/Control Control Network] to or from your local machine.
