Is Windows Explorer just not doing it for you? Maybe the Finder isn’t doing it for you, either. Or, what if the file manager in Linux isn’t your thing? Either you put up with all of these, or you download muCommander.

muCommander is a lightweight, cross-platform file manager featuring a Norton Commander style interface and running on any operating system with Java support.

Key features include:

  • Virtual filesystem with local volumes, FTP, SFTP, SMB, NFS, HTTP and Bonjour support.
  • Quickly copy, move, rename files, create directories, email files.
  • Browse, create and uncompress ZIP, RAR, TAR, GZip, BZip2, ISO/NRG, AR/Deb and LST archives.
  • ZIP files can be modified on-the-fly, without having to recompress the whole archive.
  • Universal bookmarks and credentials manager.
  • Multiple windows support.
  • Full keyboard access.
  • Highly configurable.

muCommander is here for all of you to use. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. If you know of an alternative that is just as (or more so) powerful as this, tell me about it!

I didn’t like it. They had it on a Mac at work and I just got on with the habits I had. Macs need right click though. They need it bad. Imagine what they could do with it!
