Total Commander, formerly Windows Commander, is one of the most functional and popular file managers.
Initially, the program was designed only for Windows, but now, thanks to the emergence of special plug-ins file systems it can be used by owners of devices based on Linux, PocketPC and so on.
The manager supports FTP and with the help of a built-in client can automatically perform downloading, transfer files from one remote device to another. The program provides fast media and text files viewing, advanced search, command line and most popular archives. Another plus is the compatibility of most of its hotkeys with Volkoff/Norton Commanders. Recent versions have added a function to add comments to files.
