muCommander is an open source, cross-platform and useful graphical software written in the Java programming language and designed to act as a Norton Commander-style file manager that supports Linux, BSD, Solaris, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.

Features at a glance

Key features include support for virtual filesystem via Samba (SMB), HTTP/HTTPS, Hadoop HDFS, Amazon S3, NFS (Network File System), FTP (File Transfer Protocol), Bonjour and SFTP (Secure FTP) connectivity, support for basic file management functionality, including copy, paste, move, rename, create directories, or email files, as well as support for creating, uncompress and browse TAR, GZ, BZ2, RAR, ISO, DEB, AR, NRG, 7z, LST and ZIP archives.
