Midnight Commander file manager now available

We have installed Midnight Commander on all of our servers. Midnight Commander is a file manager program which runs in a shell window and lets you manage the files on your Web site. Midnight Commander splits the screen in two, letting you select different directories on each side. You can then move, copy, and rename files and directories, and perform many other operations.

Midnight Commander is designed for users who connect to the shell but may not be fully comfortable with typing commands on the command line.

Here are some quick tips for using Midnight Commander:

• Start the program by typing opening shell window, and then typing: mc
• If the display doesn’t draw properly, try using the -a option: mc -a
• Press Tab to switch between the two sides of the screen
• Press F9 to open the menus
• Press F10 to exit

As with all programs, you can get more help by typing (on the command line): man mc
