sandsmark / qssh

Qt-based library for SSH and SFTP.

About QSsh

QSsh provides SSH and SFTP support for Qt applications without depending on openssh or similar. The aim of this project is to provide an easy way to use these protocols in any Qt application.

This project is based on Qt Creator's previous SSH plugin. All credits to Qt Creator's team!

Unfortunately Qt Creator has decided to start using openssh instead (with some hacks invoking it etc.), so this is now the most up to date maintained version.

Compiling QSsh

Prerequisites:

• Qt
• Botan

Steps:

git clone https://github.com/sandsmark/QSsh.git
cd QSsh
mkdir build
cd build
qmake ../qssh.pro
make (or mingw32-make or nmake depending on your platform)

Examples

Complete applications

• ssh shell, similar to a normal command line ssh client.
• Graphical SFTP browser, how to use the SFTP file system model with a QTreeView.
• Secure Uploader, how to upload a file.

Various usage examples

• Tunneling and forwarding
• SFTP
• Remote process handling

Other

• Error handling
• Auto tests

qssh's Issues

Sir, compile error when using botan3 version. Please update it! Thanks

请问您用的是什么版本的qt,我编译的时候有一些错误提示为定义的引用

LGTM pipeline fails

Hi, I have submitted 4 very simple pull requests but they all fail due to the LGTM pipeline.

@sandsmark could you please have a look at why they fail?

Repository alive?

@sandsmark are you still interested in maintaining this library?

Implement ED25519

Ubuntu 22.04 which is now the default distro by AWS no longer accepts the RSA keys which worked absolutely fine with previous versions. Instead the newer ED25519 key is required, but that is not implemented in QSsh yet. I would offer to add this to the repo myself but I have absolutely no clue about how to do this.

Would it be either possible for you to do this, or if you're too busy could you send me instructions on how to do this? It's the cryptography side of which I have no idea how it works, but I could do the implementation if I knew the necessary basic steps.

SshConnectionParameters::AuthenticationTypePublicKey

I had a little bit of a problem with AuthenticationTypePublicKey when I was using them.To my understanding,I need to use parameters.privateKeyFile,but the keyFile I use has its own password(the picture 1),and I don't know where to put it in SshConnectionParameters.When I use the example of remoteprocess,the example can excute successfully(the picture 2) if the keyFile dosen't have its own password.However,when the keyFile dose have its own password,the example will report an error(the picture 3).

Cannot specify link libraries for target "ssh-shell" which is not built by this project.

CMake throws error while build:
CMake Error at examples/ssh-shell/CMakeLists.txt:4 (target_link_libraries): Cannot specify link libraries for target "ssh-shell" which is not built by this project.

There is a typo in examples/ssh-shell/CMakeLists.txt
add_executable(ssh-hell argumentscollector.cpp main.cpp shell.cpp)
ssh-shell should be :)
