## EDIT SSH DETAILS ##

SSH_ADDRESS = "192.168.0.1"
SSH_USERNAME = "username"
SSH_PASSWORD = "password"
SSH_COMMAND = "echo 'Hello World!'"

## CODE BELOW ##

def main():
    ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
    ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())

    ssh_stdin = ssh_stdout = ssh_stderr = None

    try:
        ssh.connect(SSH_ADDRESS, username=SSH_USERNAME, password=SSH_PASSWORD)
        ssh_stdin, ssh_stdout, ssh_stderr = ssh.exec_command(SSH_COMMAND)
        ssh_stdout.channel.recv_exit_status()
    except Exception as e:
        sys.stderr.write("SSH connection error: {0}".format(e))

    if ssh_stdout:
        sys.stdout.write(ssh_stdout.read().decode("UTF-8"))
    if ssh_stderr:
        sys.stderr.write(ssh_stderr.read().decode("UTF-8"))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

I executed above program, but i am getting error as Channel closed. Please can someone guide me?

I got this error, can you please comment on this,

SSH connection error: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

@lalaso, it could be because you ran it multiple times, and the client and connection were not closed properly the first time.

See https://gist.github.com/cowlinator/552ee27cd436e5f79c214107e4a779e6 for how to use SSHClient() with a context manager and how to use ssh.connect() and ssh.close() with a try, finally clause.
