Introduction to Linux MC
Midnight Commander (MC) is a "Swiss Army Knife" in the Linux console and other terminal environments. It is a very convenient File Manager, which is equivalent to the Total Commander in Windows. This gives the novice a menu-driven console experience, which is much easier to learn than standard Linux commands. However, there are very few users who use it. It may be because Linux users prefer to press the keyboard.
[Inbi @ debian ~] #Aptitude-y install mc
# Debian install Midnight Commander (MC)

Linux MC also supports ftp login Oh, URL format: username: passwd@hostname.domainname
Linux MC has many more command links! The compression command must be installed on the local machine with related software. The editor is the default editor that calls the local machine.
