Android Question WEB Controller by TCP/IP

[laiberica]

Hello, im needing to connect to a web controller by TCP-IP which have an dyndns with user and password.
I need to connect to it and send commands to control it.
Can someone help me with it? Thanks

What type of authentication method does it use?

 

[laiberica]

I dont understand the question, i send you by private the info. Thanks!

 

[Erel]

There are many authentication methods. You need to check this controller documentation to find out how you can connect to it.

 

[laiberica]

With httpjob i can connect, but i dont know how i can execute commands on it

example:

Dim jobb As HttpJob

jobb.Initialize("Jobb", Me)
jobb.Username="DT"
jobb.Password="XXXXXX"
jobb.download("http://controlhXXX.dyndns.org")

This works and connect good.

With command "?Ox" (x=number) i can get output value for example, but i dont understand how use it...

 

[Erel]

Do they provide any examples in their documentation?

 

[laiberica]

Seller tell me that controller dont have authentication, i must connect by tcp/ip and send commands directly, i can use putty app and works fine localy.

In this app that im developing i must connect with authentication because i use dyndns to connect of another place. Router connect directly to the controller.

Any idea to send commands with httpjob or similar? Thanks!

When you connect to the server using Putty, do you receive some kind of cursor to know when the server is ready to begin talking?
If so, check if you receive this character when you connect.

Hi, Putty works locally without dyndns, but i need to connect outside.

Which character you say?

 

[DanteS]

I asked first if you receive a cursor (sometimes a ">", or "-" or "$") once you connect locally to the device. If so, when you try to connect remotely, using an android device, you have to check if you receive the same character.

Have you tried to use ssh library? It´s something like putty

 

[laiberica]

SSH looks god, im trying to use, i have an error:

SSH2.initialize("SSH", "xxxxxxx.dyndns.org", 80)
SSH2.authenticateWithPassword("DT", "XXXXX")
Log(SSH2.IsConnected) 'Log show false here

SSH2.execCommand("?O1", 10)

execCommand shows this error:
android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException

i have an error

Could that error be fixed using a code that Erel provided : https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...tworkonmainthreadexception.24506/#post-175989

 

[laiberica]

Thanks, the error dont appear more, but now it shows "SSH2.executingCommand" in loop, waiting but nothing..

 

[lemonisdead]

Please are you using jkSSH2 ? I ask you this because I took the time to test the library to check if it worked and I didn't got any "SSH2.executingCommand" in my logs.
Tests done connecting to a remote server.

The result I get is inside the sub

Sub SSH2_CmdExecuted (Success As Boolean, Result As List, TaskId As Int)
End Sub

** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
>>> [SSH]: Connection was successfully established.
>>> [SSH]: Command was successfully executed.
>>> [SSH]: Connection was closed. Reason: Closed due to user request.

While

SSH2.DebugOutput=True

 

[laiberica]

Yes im using jkSSH2

I was talking with controller manufacturer and tell me that i must connect by telnet.
I Used puTTY and it works fine...
