Try to define whit ONLY three(...six) words Total Commander, according to your own perception.

My definition is:

I can't do it in a few words.

I believe the paradigm of a dual panel for source and destination directories (thanks to John Socha) fits perfectly well with a file manager. Some call this type of file manager OFM - Orthodox File Manager. The destination directory can be of any VFS, be it ftp/sftp, packed file, http site, etc. TC stands out in the crowded OFM arena as it has added a lot of useful features and utilities that don't only make file management a cinch, but also turn TC into a power-packed Swiss knife tool.

I can say "Very Good" (2 words).

I like TC. I trust TC. And I mostly prefer TC for file management. But I believe that TC still need some additional features to be good than it is. This is a sincerely idea not a criticism.

Congratulation! You did it!

On the other hands, you must have a filling why do not use another Orthodox File Manager. The words must describe your fits and how they meet your needs.

Thank you for your post/answer.

So, what features are you missing? Do you have any suggestions?

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.
