= Connecting to a pod

[role="_abstract"]
You can directly connect to a currently running pod with the `oc rsh` command, which provides you with a shell on that pod.

[WARNING]
====
In pods that run a low-latency application, latency issues can occur when you run the `oc rsh` command.
Use the `oc rsh` command only if you cannot connect to the node by using the `oc debug` command.
====

.Procedure

* Connect to your pod by running the following command:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ oc rsh -n <namespace> busybox-1

For more information, see "oc rsh" and "Accessing running pods".
