Linux | How to create Terminal User Interfaces (TUI)

In this video I demonstrate how to setup Terminal user interfaces (TUI) using the Linux dialog utility and then explained how that bastion server script works.

Keep in mind that the script is intended for demonstration purposes only and does contain loopholes; if you intend to use it in a real environment, you must harden the script.

fyi dialog has an c library libdialog i think and dialog.h, the entries/funcs in dialog.h differs from the command line utility dialog (the entries and arg in dialog and dialog.h are pretty similar tho), i was expecting to c dialog.h tutorials but can you guide me with dialog.h too?

This is amazing! But how will this work if I want to copy something over scp or rsync?
