Midnight Commander
GNU Midnight Commander is a text-mode full-screen file manager. It uses a two panel interface and a subshell for command execution. It includes an internal editor with syntax highlighting and an internal viewer with support for binary files. Also included is Virtual Filesystem (VFS), that allows files on remote systems (e.g. FTP servers) and files inside archives to be manipulated like real files.

Recent commentsmc hangs
Hi!
i have a problem with hanging mc: if mc is run over ssh in screen session under x.org (x.org - on the server side), after some operations mc hangs and what is the most disappointing - the only possibility to start mc anew is to reboot the system.
all this goes on on slackware 11, 12 and default package.
bugreport: menu box displacement
Hi,
menubar_draw_drop misplaces the box because the menubar's strting x
and y coordinates are added twice. This bug doesn't produce visible result
as long as menu starts at screen coordinates 0;0.

P.S. I know this is not the proper place to report bugs; however, the project
page doesn't offer any mean of anonymous bugreporting and I am not willing
to register to another service just to report a single bug.

midnight commander has mysterius forces
i have tried many file managers, but i always got back to the midnight commander. it attracts me, must be some mysterious force. :) But probably it is just because i have been using the DOS Norton Commander since i have been 5 or 6 years old ;)
midnight commander is by far the best one ...
Editor displaying ^M
I've upgraded from mc-4.5.42 (rpm, binary) to mc-4.6 (compiled on my system).
Now in the editor, for text files with LF/CR as a line separator it displays a "^M" (CR) on black background at the end of each line. The previous version didn't, and it used to respect the standard of the opened file (LF/CR or LF).
Do I have a problem with one setting ?
Note that it's not specific to one syntax highlight in particular.
Maybe a compilation option ? With "--with-screen=" ?
Yiihaaaaaw!
This is the BEST program I've ever seen for Linux..
As an old DOS user I've allways missed Norton Commander!!
Good work!!
And thank you!
