    Midnight Commander

    GNU Midnight Commander is a visual file manager, licensed under GNU General Public License and therefore qualifies as Free Software. It's a feature-rich full-screen text mode application that allows you to copy, move and delete files and whole directory trees, search for files and run commands in the subshell. Internal viewers and editors are included. Midnight Commander is based on versatile text interfaces, such as Ncurses or S-Lang, which allows it to work on a regular console, inside an X Window terminal, over SSH connections, and all kinds of remote shells. Midnight commander can be used in local console or terminal emulator in any graphical environment or via ssh because it has a Text User Interface (TUI). Mailing lists on GoogleGroups are set up to read Trac messages only and are not an appropriate place to discuss MC bugs and solutions. Feel free to report bugs, attach your patches to the tickets and review the patches that are already in there.
