How do you install an ssh server on qnx?

Question

I\'m working on a qnx device, and I want to be able to ssh into it. Does anyone have a primer on getting something like openSSH up and running?

Depending on whether it's 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4 you will actually go about it in a different manner.

6.2 has "Installer" or "Install Software from QNX" in Photon, a GUI program that lets you download and install it kind of like Fedora's Pup, YaST or the likes. The command-line equivalent is cl-installer.

6.3 does not have the 6.2 package filesystem, but supports it if needed. On 6.3, the easiest way would be to get the 6.2's package from http://download.qnx.com/contrib/repository621a/ , unpack it (it's just a tarball) - you should be able to figure out which file goes where.

6.4 has support for pkgsrc which would be my preferred way of doing it there.
