ssh to mobile or embedded device using qt program

[lina]

Hi,
I want to establish a connection with my android phone using Qprocess through ssh connection. I run sshDroid on my phone and I wrote the following code in qt to establish the ssh connection:
QString commands = "ssh root@192.168.1.102:22" ;
QProcess *process = new QProcess();
process->start(commands);

if(!process->waitForStarted()){
    qDebug() << "Could not wait to start...";
}

if(!process->waitForFinished()) {
    qDebug() << "Could not wait to finish...";
}

process->closeWriteChannel();
qDebug() << process->readAll();

I always get this response in my output window:
Could not wait to start...
Could not wait to finish...
""
Do you have any idea to establish the connection?

Hi,

From where are you trying to establish the connection ? From your desktop ? If so, do you have the ssh client application installed ?

What OS are you running on ?
What version of Qt ?

Hi SGaist,
yes it's a desktop application. No I didn't install ssh client. now it is on qt5.8.0 on win7 but I want to compile it with qtAndroid in the next step.

I am confused with ssh client, I thought that my program is a ssh client, isn't it?

@SGaist

Thanks, I install ssh client and connect through it from my program. how can I give user and password of the remote device after the primary connection using qprocess?

[SGaist]

I just remembered something: ssh doesn't take a password from stdin so you can't do it with QProcess.

You should take a look at his stackoverflow post which provides several possibilities.
