Far Manager

Far Manager is a powerful and extensible two-pane file manager for Windows. It features a text-based interface, keyboard-centric navigation, support for plugins, syntax highlighting, archive browsing, and more. It’s particularly suitable for power users, developers, and system administrators.

It is especially useful when:

  • You want a fast, keyboard-driven file manager
  • You need to work with archives, FTP, or system tasks
  • You’re familiar with Total Commander or Norton Commander style layout
  • You prefer a portable or minimal setup on Windows

Far Manager is free and open source (BSD-like license) and works on all modern versions of Windows.
