"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."
"Midnight Commander has been around for a long time. In fact, this file manager was there when I first started using Linux. 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."
Terminal-based file managers provide an alternative to graphical file managers for remote servers, local terminal sessions, or users who prefer the command line. They allow common file operations such as copy, move, rename, delete, and batch renaming directly within a terminal. Many include features like dual-pane viewing, FTP and SSH remote access, unicode support, mouse integration, and editor integration. Midnight Commander (MC) is a longstanding, powerful option that closely mimics GUI file managers while operating inside the terminal. Several free and easy-to-use terminal file managers are available for Linux.
