[Qt-creator] Remote linux debugging requires SSH (any reason?)

[Adam Treat]

Hi,

Remote linux debugging and QNX debugging require an SSH connection. Any
reason we don't support telnet or serial connections other than we just
haven't done the work yet? If so, can someone familiar with this code
give an estimate of how much work would be involved to add telnet and/or
serial?

Cheers,
Adam

SSH is our interface to connect to a device for the purpose of deploying files and starting applications. In the case of debugging, the started application is gdbserver.

There has been no use case.

And most probably nobody bothered, because SSH provides far better
integration than telnet.
