It would amazing if SSH had the ability to auto-reconnect after a network failure or similar, just like RDP does.

Thank you
Bye

There was an attempt to do this previously (UseRoaming) however it was the source of some security problems and was ultimately removed.  I don't think we want to repeat that.

Depending on exactly what you want, you could get something similar with a shell one-liner using screen or tmux:

$ while ! ssh -tt yourserver "screen -R -D myshell";do sleep 1; done

Ok if you have a linux pc.
But mine is at my office due to COVID19, I'm using a Windows pc at home with Putty.
I don't have bash/ssh....

I'd like ssh was more network (fault) resistant.
