-Currently access to CorteXlab is done via a direct ssh connection to the ''airlock''. This is a SSH server whose sole purpose is to provide users with a UNIX home directory and several command line tools (CLI) to interact with the testbed. Whenever you see the ''airlock'' name appear in this wiki this is the SSH server we are talking about.

 On a Linux/Unix host, the SSH connection to the airlock can be done with the command:
 <code>
-you@yourpc:~$ ssh -X -v [-i path/to/the/key] -p 2269 username@gw.cortexlab.fr
+you@yourpc:~$ ssh -X -v [-i path/to/the/key] [-p PORT] username@gw.cortexlab.fr
 </code>
 Options:
  **-X** is used for X forwarding (do not forget to execute xhost+ on your own machine)
  **-v** is used for verbose mode
- **-p** is used to specify the port through which the SSH connection is opened
+ **-p** is used to specify the port through which the SSH connection is opened (22 or 2269)
  **-i** is used to specify the path to the RSA key if it is not the default one (~/.ssh/id_rsa[.pub])

 On MS Windows, you can use [[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html|Putty]] to open SSH connections to remote hosts.
-Moreover, you can enable X11 forwarding on Putty and user a X11 server on your PC to open remote graphical applications. [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/|Xming]] is a suitable X11 server for Windows.

 To do so, you must configure your connection.
 ==== Step 1: Set the Host ====
-Choose SSH as the communication protocol and set the host name of the server you want to reach, in this case the airlock ''dev.cortexlab.fr'', on port 2269.

-To be done.
+The MacOS procedure for connecting is very similar to the Linux/Unix one, the SSH connection to the airlock can be done with the command:
