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 Connecting to a Console

To Consoles

The consoles can be connected to the same way as above, with the following differences:

1. Consoles can be connected to only during a Getting Started.
2. Consoles can run OMF commands to control Resources within their Domain
3. Consoles share a Control network with Resources within their Domain

To Resources

• Resources can be interacted with by running commands from a Console.
• For example:
• Using 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 ​ProxyJump and similar commands to automate the connection though the console
• Use the VPN to route arbitrary network traffic from the Control Network to or from your local machine.
