======Accessing NSCL Services Remotely====== 
Many of applications at the NSCL can be accessed remotely. The IT department keeps an updated document [[https://portal.frib.msu.edu/nscloperationsdivision/it/Knowledgebase/Remote%20Access%20Info.aspx|here]] \\

  * Your NSCL email (the one that ends in nscl.msu.edu) can be accessed through the web at: [[http://exchange.nscl.msu.edu|exchange.nscl.msu.edu]]
  * To access your account on the Linux machines you can SSH into the gateway machines (nsclgw1.nscl.msu.edu or nsclgw2.nscl.msu.edu).
      * For setting up SSh keys see the [[https://portal.frib.msu.edu/nscloperationsdivision/it/Knowledgebase/Setting%20up%20SSH%20keys.aspx|NSCL documentation]] or the better [[ https://www.ssh.com/ssh/copy-id|external site]]
      * If you also always ssh directly inyo fishtank you can use the flag -J to tunnel directly through the gateway ie ssh -J anthonya@nsclgw1.nscl.msu.edu -XY anthonya@fishtank 
  * Also available remotely are many of the windows application such as Mathematica, MatLab, and even a copy of Firefox that treats you as if you were on site (allows access to portal and enterprise)!
    * To access them you must use the Citrix Remote Application Server.
    * To use the server log into [[https://apps.frib.msu.edu/|Citrix Reciever]] (with your Windows password)
    * From here, you should be able to access apps of-site
  * Remote desktop is also available. Instructions for setting it up can be found [[https://portal.frib.msu.edu/nscloperationsdivision/it/Knowledgebase/Citrix%20Remote%20Desktop.aspx|here]]. Note that for first time setup you will need the name of your computer. Typically this is USERNAME, ie ANTHONYA.
