i'm using python 2.7.12 on a ubuntu16.04 trying to use the Paramiko package ( just need remote ssh command execution)

my code is 

   import paramiko


    host = "random_host"
    ssh = paramiko.SSHCLient()
    ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
    ssh.connect(host)

and the error i get is:

crypthography.exceptions.UnsupportedAlgorithm: this backend does not support this elliptic curve.

please help

and if there is a better alternative for just remote ssh commands , do tell ( i tried fabric but it still fails when i try to connect)

  • Show us [Paramiko log file](https://stackoverflow.com/q/27587716/850848) and a full exception callstack. Output of `ssh -v` connecting to the same server may help too. – Martin Prikryl Dec 06 '17 at 09:46

problem here

1) u are using host in double quotes

Try below code with IP first ,instead of host and let us know if it works

import paramiko 
ssh=paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.connect('192.168.1.26',port=22,username='root',password='default')

  • OP can connect, it's the handshake that fails. So it cannot be a problem with DNS resolution. – Martin Prikryl Dec 07 '17 at 08:51
  • @pankaj_mishra i tried still same error. Its not dns also because i try with ip too. Maybe it has something to do with the parameters ssh.connect() gets? – Arnold Y. Dec 07 '17 at 17:11
