    @Christian-Ehrlicher ok..when i included this after starting the process:

    qDebug() << sshProcess->state();
    
            qDebug() << "SSH Output:" << sshProcess->readAllStandardOutput();
            qDebug() << "SSH Error Output:" << sshProcess->readAllStandardError();
    

    it gives like this:

    QProcess::Running
    SSH Output: ""
    SSH Error Output: ""

    why?it is not printing..readAllStandardOutput and readAllStandardError are QBytArrays..

    Can I consider this as my program executed correctly?

    Because on terminal, when successfully connected and executing the shell scirpt..it runs like this:

    python: no process found
    No Arduino
    connection reset
    No Arduino
    connection reset
    No Arduino

    In my Qt,it should print like this

    @Vijaykarthikeyan Now,it ic successfully connected,

    SSH Output: "Linux pi 6.1.21+ #1642 Mon Apr 3 17:19:14 BST 2023 armv6l\n\nThe programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software;\nthe exact distribution terms for each program are described in the\nindividual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.\n\nDebian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent\npermitted by applicable law.\n\nWi-Fi is currently blocked by rfkill.\nUse raspi-config to set the country before use.\n\n"

    But,when i give the command to navigate to the file directory it says too many arguments

      As I presume you have discovered, you will not receive any output from a subprocess if you ask for it immediately after starting it --- no output has yet been produced. You either need to connect() to readyRead.,.,.(), call waitForReadyRead() (yuck!) or wait until process finished.

      But,when i give the command to navigate to the file directory it says too many arguments

      For people to help you, don't you think we need to see what "command" you are issuing, how you are issuing it, and just what the error message reads? Or do you think we can tell you what is wrong with your "command to navigate to the file directory" without knowing what you have done?

          @JonB Please go through my code snippet which i have been already included what is the command line which im trying to pass. And I seek what is the mistake which I have been done.Ok...Do you think the people who are asking doubt are just not knowing anything at all? All these people in this conversation..gone through the snippet and corrects me in each comment

            Evidently the other people understand what you are passing to QProcess, how you are specifying arguments, etc.. I don't. So you can wait for them.

                @Vijaykarthikeyan
                But firstly you say you have "changed" what you are issuing at some point, and secondly your screenshot shows you issuing a command of .ROV.sh which gives message python: no process found. This hardly seems an ideal place to start from, to me.

                Then The only QProcess (assuming that is what sshProcess is) statement you show executes the following:

                ssh -T ssh "username@host" "password" "cd Desktop && ./ROV.sh"
                

                I am not an ssh expert. But is it really right that you want to execute ssh ... ssh ...??

                Then you say there is no documentation for how to pass arguments to ssh, which is not its job to document. Or their "format", which is not its job either.

                Then you seem to say you have "changed" what you do, but I don't know how, and then that it's "working".

                Then you say

                But,when i give the command to navigate to the file directory it says too many arguments

                But rather then telling us what exactly you pass to QProcess you say we should look at screenshots and it is our fault for failing to understand.

                Then you tell me that other people can answer your questions but not me, so I suggest you wait for them to understand what I do not.

                Here is what I would have expected/hoped for from you, and from myself if I were asking the question:

                1. I have tried a single-line ssh from a terminal outside of Qt. Here is the verbatim of what I typed:
                ssh ...
                
                1. And here is how I tried to call that with QProcess:
                sshArgs << ...
                sshProcess->start("ssh", sshArgs);
                

                and here is the output or error message or behaviour or whatever is wrong.

                And it it were me I would expect to start with a command no more than, like, echo hello, verify that works first, then move onto cding and running a .sh.

                If I am not able to give the help you want, that's fine, and if you find others understand better and you'd rather await their responses, that's fine too. But please don't belabour me for failing to know just what you are doing from your screenshots when it would take you a few seconds to provide answers to points 1. & 2. per my request instead of saying I should be able to answer without further clarification.

                  @JonB I have said everything at the question..Now,I'm telling you again.

                  I have a .sh(shell script) file which is in the current directory of the desktop.the desktop path is in the Linux device.(I'm using Raspberry pi.So,it works in Linux OS).

                  So,the path will look like this:

                  Desktop->(current Directory)->ROV.sh file

                  This should be executed by Qt through ssh.For that,I have used QProcess.This is what exactly I'm trying to do and I don't want to acheive it through TCP connection or socket connection libraries.

                  This is what I want and what I'm trying to say.

                  As I have already said When running the command:
                  Screenshot 2024-01-19 145826.png

                  is working correctly.And you have mentioned there's a message called Python: no process found. Don't give attention to that.It's a starting message like a test message to check whether the file is working or not.So,don't take that as serious.

                  you said my doubt is changing sequentially.Actually,I'm parallely searching for the answers in other forum like to change password settings and all and @jsulm guided me to go for key pair authentification rather than typing password.

                  According to you ,if i belaboured you, then what about this:

                  (yuck!) or wait until process finished

                  this is the thing you too belaboured me from the very 1st conversation..I have quoted all the problem statements at the time of asking questions,given the code snippet of mine,shown the screenshot. told what exactly what i want to do,told what is the problem I'm facing. All I have given you, atlast you have belaboured me.

                  So,It's you who is belabouring
