Midnight Commander (mc) is a text-based, two-panel file manager that runs in the terminal. It copies, moves, and deletes files between the left and right panels, browses archives and FTP/SFTP remote directories as a virtual file system, and includes the built-in editor mcedit and a viewer. It follows the interface of Norton Commander from the DOS era and is often used to organize files on servers without a GUI.
