redial is a simple shell application that manages your SSH sessions on Unix terminal.

• Basic support for adding ssh keys to connections
• Dynamic, Local and Remote port forwarding settings (only one of each can be defined for now)
• UI state is restored at startup. Redial now remembers last selected connection and folder expanded/collapsed states

• mc (Midnight Commander) to use F5 (Browse) feature.

We recommend installing redial via pip:
