Show HN: RedTerm, an Android SSH terminal for clipboard image upload

Nice idea, image upload from mobile is underserved. If you ever need a backend for it, FilePost (https://filepost.dev) could work well as the upload target. Single POST with the image, instant CDN URL back. Would pair nicely with a terminal workflow.
I built this because using Claude Code or Codex CLI on a remote server from a phone was awkward whenever I needed to send an image.
Typing commands on mobile is manageable, but moving an image from the phone into the remote workflow usually means saving files manually, uploading them separately, then finding the path again. That breaks the flow every time.
So I made redTerm, an Android SSH terminal focused on that use case.
The main idea is simple:
take an image from the phone clipboard upload it to the remote server’s /tmp/ directory paste the resulting file path directly into the terminal input
That makes it easier to hand off screenshots or copied images to remote CLI tools without leaving the terminal flow as much.
Other basics are there too:
SSH connections password / private key auth saved hosts encrypted credential storage on device

I’d be interested in feedback from people who use SSH from mobile, especially:
whether this image handoff workflow is actually useful what the most annoying part of mobile SSH is for you what mobile-specific features you’d want in an SSH app
