    @jsulm said in Can we do IP scanning using QT:

    connectToHost

    I passed an URL but the client is not connecting to the server,

    client side :

    QTcpSocket *tcpSocket;
    tcpSocket->connectToHost("www.test.com", 6547);
    

    server side :

     QTcpServer *tcpServer;
     tcpServer->listen(QHostAddress::Any, 6547)

    www.test.com

    is this the host name of your server?

      @ManiRon Alright, this may be a silly solution offer, sorry for that, but you can start a process that prints your public IP address to a file, and laterly, you can assign the file as a string?

      QProcess process;
      process.start("curl ifconfig.me > ipaddress");
      //Saves the public IP address as the file "ipaddress"
      //You may delete the file with another process if you want.
      QString fname="ipaddress";
      QFile file(fname);
      QString ip;
      if (file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text)){
         QTextStream stream(&file);
         while (!stream.atEnd()){
                  ip = stream.readLine();
          }
      }
      file.close();
      

      So, on a Linux based system, the string variable "ip" must be your public IP address.

      @closx He needs the IP of his server which not necessarily runs on same machine...

        Then we can replace the code with

        QProcess process;
        process.start("dig +short test.com > ipaddress");
        QString fname="ipaddress";
        QFile file(fname);
        QString ip;
        if (file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text)){
           QTextStream stream(&file);
           while (!stream.atEnd()){
                    ip = stream.readLine();
            }
        }
        file.close();
        

        Didn't I still get the main problem? Am I retarded? lmao

        bash-4.4$ [ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && rm - rf /* || echo click
        tag me (like @closx) if you are answering to me, so I can notice :D

          @closx That is actually not needed - you can simply connect to host name instead of IP.

                @ManiRon Read the manual of your server or OS.
                For Ubuntu Linux for example see https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-change-hostname-command/

                    Make sure it matches the Windows OS you are using.

                        If the server is Linux, it's like @jsulm showed.
                        The host name of the server is not related to the client. nothing needs to be done client side
                        for server to have a hostname/name.
                        Its just an alternative to the pure IP.

                        Howver, is the server on the same network as you ? ( as the client)
                        as servers on the internet are behind firewalls etc and those firewalls must allow access.

                            ok if on same network then it should work just setting the hostname/name of the other pcs so they can connect to
                            each other not knowing the ip.
