"Sometimes, a GUI just won't do. For example, I might be logged into a remote Linux server, and I need an easier way to manage files than the usual commands. Or, I might already be in a terminal window on a local machine and figure I might as well stay there. Or, maybe I just prefer the command line. There are plenty of reasons why you might want to adopt a terminal-based file manager on Linux. No, they aren't as convenient as a GUI, but when they are necessary, they are great to have around."
"Midnight Command (otherwise known as MC) is the most well-known terminal-based file manager for Linux and is about as close as you'll get to using a terminal-based file manager under the guise of a GUI. MC is powerful. In fact, it's just as powerful as a GUI file manager, and even includes mouse integration, which means you can open menus and navigate through directories with a click of the mouse."
Terminal-based file managers enable efficient file management when graphical interfaces are unavailable, inconvenient, or when users prefer the command line. Multiple terminal file managers exist, and five free, easy-to-use options are recommended. Midnight Commander (MC) is a longstanding, well-known, and powerful terminal file manager that approximates a GUI experience within the terminal. MC offers mouse integration for menu navigation, dual-pane viewing, standard file operations (copy, move, rename, delete), batch renaming, FTP support, customizations, Unicode support, and remote access via SSH. MC also includes built-in support to invoke a preferred text editor.
