Open Source C File Managers for FreeBSD

An extremly fast and lightweight file manager which features tabbed browsing and user-friendly interface

Vifm is a file manager with curses interface, which provides Vim-like environment for managing objects within file systems, extended with some useful ideas from mutt. If you use Vim, Vifm gives you complete keyboard control over your files without having to learn a new set of commands.

Fpart is a tool that helps you sort file trees and pack them into bags (called "partitions"). It is developped in C and available under the BSD license. It splits a list of directories and file trees into a certain number of partitions, trying to produce partitions with the same size and number of files. It can also produce partitions with a given number of files or a limited size. Once generated, partitions are either printed as file lists to stdout (default) or to files. Those lists can then be used by third party programs. Fpart also includes a live mode, which allows it to crawl very large filesystems and produce partitions in live. Hooks are available to act on those partitions (e.g. immediatly start a transfer using rsync(1)) without having to wait for the filesystem traversal job to be finished. Used this way, fpart can be seen as a powerful data migration tool.

lxSplit is a tool for splitting files and joining the splitted files on unix-like platforms. It is fully compatible with hjsplit, a tool which is available for other operating systems.

XFile is a compact file manager for Unix and alike systems running X11. It presents the file system as is, without imaginary locations, trashcans etc. XFile uses its own file type/association database in typical Unix/RC like syntax, which is easily editable. Mounting support for file systems defined in fstab, and integration with mount daemons that manage a dedicated media directory is also included. XFile is easily configurable and customizable with X resources, and has no dependencies, save for X and Motif. Documentation and more on the project homepage: https://fastestcode.org/xfile.html

pam_mount is a Pluggable Authentication Module that can mount volumes for a user session (login). Supports mounting local filesystems of any kind the normal mount utility supports, with extra code to better support CIFS, FUSE, various crypto, and more.

A file manager for the Unix terminal. Unlike most file managers out there, based on the TUI, CliFM is entirely based on command-line. It is also ultra-lightweight, lightning fast, extensible, and written in C.

DavUtils is a collection of easy to use WebDAV client tools. The built-in client-side encryption allows you to encrypt and decrypt files on the fly with AES. Currently two command line tools are available: dav is a multipurpose WebDAV client that can be used like the standard unix tools ls, mkdir and rm. The other tool is dav-sync that can synchronize local files with a WebDAV server. It is very flexible and configurable and has advanced data safety features to prevent data loss. The integrated client-side AES encryption makes it secure to use public clouds.

Cat‘sEyE, a file browser for Linux/Unix using GTK 2. 2-sided, tabbed, flexible, powerful, fast. You will never see icons in its views! - Ok, well, now you CAN ENABLE a picture preview. But that's it!

File undelete / recovery tool for *BSD FFS filesystem

Idas (I Don't Accept Seconds) is a high-performance duplicate file detector. Idas plugs into your favorite Unix filter and can tell you exactly which files have been seen before, regardless of whether or not it appears with the same filename.

Sample is the missing link in the POSIX-compliant cron-family of task scheduling tools. Sample monitors files on a user-by-user basis and waits for their timestamp/filesize to hit a threshold thereby executing a specified command to handle the files.

Detox is a utility designed to clean up filenames. It replaces non-standard characters, such as spaces, with standard equivalents.

'finddouble' application searches into a directory and all its sub directories. If it finds several times the same file, a warning message is displayed, but no other action is taken. It's main use is to help you optimize you disk usage.

a read/write filesystem driver(using fuse) to mount a mail box under Linux/FreeBSD box, a shell extension to mount a mail box under Windows, using pop3(s) for read, smtp(s) for write.

The nmSync tool provides file synchronization among different platforms (Win32, OSX, BSD, ...) in networked or disconnected environments.
