+
+==== Tips for working on a remote system
+
+===== Handling sessions and disconnections
+
+To avoid losing your place if disconnected, use something like tmux. This will allow you to have multiple tabs, or windows, with a single ssh connection. In addition, you'll be able to reconnect to this set-up if your connection drops.
+
+Warning: On the consoles, when your reservation ends, all of your processes will be killed, including tmux sessions.
+
+===== File management
+To move files between your machine and the consoles, the simplest method is something like SCP.
+For a graphical client, one example is !FileZilla, over scp or sftp.
+
+To move files to a node, this is normally a two step process. Local -> Console, Console -> node.
+
+By using a !ProxyJump directive in your local machine's `~/.ssh/config` file, you can do this in "1" step, but this is an advanced method. When accessing the node, your ssh client with automatically proxy the connection via the console.
+
+An example file is:
+{{{
+Host node1.cosmos-lab.org
+User root
+ProxyJump console.cosmos-lab.org
+}}}
+
+
+For development on nodes, we recommend using git, and having both your local machine and the console or node pull from the repo.
