Do you think you have to type waaay too many ls, cd, mv, rm and cp in
a day just to get your work done? Do you think doing FTP should be as
easy as accessing a local file system? Then:
Try the "FileRunner" v2.0 filemanager!
( http://www.cd.chalmers.se/~hch/filerunner.html )
List of nice features:
======================
* Easy, quick usage.
* Can browse FTP directories as easy as normal directories.
* FTP through proxy supported.
* Recursive Hyper-Menu of the entire file directory tree for quick
directory traversing. Built dynamically.
* Hotlist, allows you to save often-visited locations.
* History of the last visited directories.
* Extendable by adding your own command buttons.
* Very configurable.
New stuff in 2.0:
* Built-in command shell windows. Synchronized with file panels.
Has history, aliases and file name completion.
* Asynchronous file operations (background execution).
Including FTP transfers!
* User-defined file-pattern/actions. (*.jpg -> launch image viewer etc.)
* Netscape-like "back" button.
* Change GUI colors and fonts on the fly. (No restart)
* FTP transfers can be aborted at any time.
* Better interface to user-defined buttons.
* And lots more of minor enhancements and bug fixes.
